Land of hope

Land of hope is a story about love. The film spans seven years from the end of World War Two in 1945 to the Helsinki Olympic Year of 1952. The government gives to Anni and Veikko a so-called cold farm, an uncleared plot of land where the young couple start to build their new home from scratch. Their story is told against the backdrop of the post-war resettlement of evacuees, war veterans and disabled soldiers in different areas in Finland.
