Klaani: Tarina Sammakoitten suvusta

Nov 30 1984 N/A 2h 0m
Crime, Drama, Romance

Young Alex Sammakko has seen his brothers defy the law in a series of deeds that first land them in jail, and then, after they escape and return to their rural home, land them back in the lap of their locally notorious family. Alex wants nothing to do with them. He is in love with Mirja, whose family is not that different from the Sammakko's, but who shares Alex's viewpoints and feelings. Not helping matters is a police department convinced that all Sammakkos are bad, and the family itself, pressuring Alex to follow in their murky footsteps.

Plot

The great merit of film is that it never starts to moralize or give forced explanations, as is customary in many films about crimes.
