History lesson in color
16 June 2007
Warning: Spoilers
The story continues where it ended with "Täällä Pohjantähden Alla". Akseli comes home from the prison camp but he is not really changed. His life continues and he strives to make a better living for his family. But not everyone has forgotten the uprising of the Reds and therefore the new beginning is not made easy.

The nation cannot stabilize itself and new extreme right takes charge unofficially. This means that people known to favor socialism get beatings unless they give up politics. The second world war comes. Akseli and Elina lose all of their sons but at least the movie ends with more positive tone as the only daughter gets married and peace is in the land.
