Long Range Patrol

Kun painuvi päät (As the Heads Bow Down) is a documentary about the 1918 Civil War in Finland.

19th century drama set on the plains of Ostrobothnia, western Finland, which are controlled by groups of knife-wielding thugs, the toughs. Traditionally, the first-born son inherits everything, so when Esko – a bum and a gang leader – learns that his father will leave the Välitalo estate to his younger and exemplary brother, all hell breaks loose.

When twelve-year-old Mark discovers a drowned sheep he experiences a traumatic reminder of his brother's death. Driven by anger at his grief-stricken mother's inability to recognise his suffering, he destroys the shrine-like sanctuary she has created in her deceased son's room.

Summer 1939 Little village Nurmo at the Finnish countryside is planning an international wrestling match that versus the whole world. But as autumn 1939 comes everything changes and the story forms into a legend.
