Elina (Natalie) and her little sister Irma (Tind) live in the rural northern Sweden of 1950s, of which the film offers a beautiful, melancholy view. Being a stubborn girl with a strong sense of right, Elina's compassion goes out for her class mate, a boy who only knows Finnish, while their stern, cold teacher only allows speaking Swedish. The teacher won't tolerate an argument, and the situation escalates until the justice prevails. Children will like the simple story, while adults can enjoy the beautiful cinematography. Natalie has expressive face that makes you feel for her, but her acting quite mediocre.
