    You found it, thanks! This will replace my old XviD copy.

    This is among my favorite of war movies.

    The story and setting is rather original, and the acting, cinematography, and script is all good.

    Each character speaks a different language (Finnish/Saami, Russian, and German) and thus there’s some witty humor with the miscommunication that goes on. Other than that, this is a serious drama involving the human condition and basic survival.
