Lapin sisu

Directed by Eino Mäkinen

After the Continuation War and the Lapland War, Eino Mäkinen photographed the devastated Lapland rising from the ashes in 1945-1947. Lapin sisu is a harrowing depiction of a family arriving at the ruins of their home. But a new home is quickly built by a volunteer team. “Remember, Kansanapu is calling you too!”
