The Son of Revenge – The Story of Kalevala

Kullervo, born into a cursed lineage, carries a stone of hatred around his neck from childhood. His father slain by his uncle Untamo, the boy is sold into slavery. Years of humiliation forge a dark power within him, until he discovers he can command the elements. This is not mere revenge—it is an epic transformation from victim to destroyer. The Finnish national epic finds cinematic flesh in this 2026 drama, where magic intertwines with blood feud, and the fate of a people hangs on the choices of one accursed warrior. Director Jukka-Pekka Siili crafts a visually potent canvas where every frame breathes the mythology of the North, and the action unfolds amidst the harsh forests and lakes of ancient Karelia.
