Kino Kuutamo: Hytti nro 6 | Compartment Number 6 – Free Mondays

Compartment Number 6 by Juho Kuosmanen, which was awarded the Grand Prix at the Cannes Film Festival and won eight Jussi awards, will take you on an unforgettable train journey through the Arctic Soviet landscape.

Laura (Seidi Haarla), who is running away from her broken heart on a journey from Moscow to Murmansk, shares a train compartment with a gruff miner Ljoha (Yuri Borisov). Laura’s expectations of a tranquil trip involving reflection are shattered when Ljoha gets drunk and very loud on the very first night.

Film historian Harri Kilpi, PhD, will provide an introduction to the film at 5 p.m.–5:45 p.m. After the lecture, the free screening of the film begins at 6 p.m. In the autumn, the theme of Kino Kuutamo’s screenings is films based on books. The night’s film is based on Rosa Liksom’s Finlandia-awarded novel Compartment Number 6 (WSOY, 2011).
