19.15 Uhr: Mother of mine / Den bästa av mödrar / Äideistä parhain
Finnland / Schweden 2005, Regie: Klaus Härö Untertitel: Englisch, Dauer: 111 min
During World War II, more than 70,000 Finnish children were evacuated to, among other countries,
neutral Sweden to be temporarily hosted while their parents stayed in Finland to continue with the
war. “Mother of Mine” tackles that painful patch of history in the tale of a nine year-old boy (Eero),
a child who increasingly feels abandoned by his Finnish widowed mother, who feels unable to look
after her son, and not yet attached to his Swedish surrogate mother. Eero feels lost, first because
everyone around him speaks Swedish and particularly because his foster mother Signe behaves in
a very cold manner. She was expecting a girl and is still in mourning for her daughter who drowned
in the sea. Worst of all, his mother´s letters are all addressed to Signe. When one day Eero gets
hold of a letter suggesting that Eero is to remain with his foster mother their relationship begins
to change. Eero, shocked and feeling betrayed, becomes Signe’s son. Now she cares lovingly for him.
Eero makes friends with the little girl Siv and is able to enjoy his childhood for a while. However,
after the end of the war the boy has to leave his new home and go back to Finland against his will
where his mother is waiting for him. Never again will he be able to trust her, since she has disappointed him so often. 60 years later, in Sweden again for Signe’s burial, Eero is finally ready to talk
about the war, his mother´s choices and his own pain.

13-year-old Frits has fallen out of favour with the headmaster of his provincial school. The year is
1969. The world is changing rapidly and corporal punishment has been banned. The tyrannical headmaster, however, hasn’t bothered to notice. Frits spends his summer holidays watching the family’s
first television, and is influenced by the winds of change. Martin Luther King’s speeches and dreams
of a better life have armoured Frits with courage and the desire for rebellion. When the headmaster
steps over the line during punishing Frits, the boy takes up battle against the authorities. The story
is based on actual events.
21.00 Uhr: The quiet storm / Vedramót
Island 2007, Regie: Gudny Halldórsdóttir Untertitel: Englisch, Dauer: 102 min
A young free-spirited girl tired of her strait-laced and reactionary family surroundings breaks free
to pursue an entirely new life. She joins the ranks of guidance-counselors running a small institution at an abandoned farm for troubled teens in a very remote part of Northern Iceland. It is the
70´s and the counselors are under the influences of the time; hippiedom, sitars and therapy consisting of pseudo-psychoanalysis in the guise of confrontational and truth-seeking group therapy
encounters. The arrival of a mysterious young girl sets on its head their deeply felt counter-cultural
belief that all authority is bad and is undermined when their own authority and moral superiority is
challenged and attacked by the rebellious teens under their care. Deceit, desires and tragedy soon
set into motion events that affect all players at the institution.

19.00 Uhr: Die Rebellion von Kautokeino / The Kautokeino Rebellion
19.00 Uhr: Fighter
Norwegen 2008, Regie: Nils Gaup Untertitel: Deutsch, Dauer: 96 min
1852 kommt es bei Kautokeino, im Norden des heutigen Norwegens, zu einem Aufstand der Samen.
Angeführt von Aslak Hætta und seiner Frau Elen wehren sie sich gegen den Händler und Gastwirt
Ruth, der mit Hilfe von Schnaps und Gewalt große Teile der samischen Rentierzucht an sich gebracht hat. Weil er dabei von lokalen Kirchenvertretern unterstützt wird, richtet sich die Rebellion
auch gegen die staatliche Obrigkeit, die mit aller Härte zurückschlägt … Gut 20 Jahre nachdem er
mit seinem erfolgreichen Erstling „Pathfinder“ eine samische Legende verfilmte, greift Regisseur
Nils Gaup – selbst ein Nachfahre des damals hingerichteten Aslak Hætta – nun einen authentischen
Stoff der samischen Historie auf, der auch in dem 1999 in Lübeck ausgezeichneten Dokumentarfilm
„Gebt uns unsere Skelette“ von Paul-Anders Simma behandelt wurde. Besetzt mit der ersten Riege
skandinavischer Schauspieler, ist mit „The Kautokeino Rebellion“ an den Originalschauplätzen ein
grandioser „Schneewestern“ entstanden, der in Anni-Kristina Juuso auch eine großartige Hauptdarstellerin besitzt.
Dänemark 2007, Regie: Natasha Arthy Untertitel: Englisch, Dauer: 97 min
Aïcha, a high-school student, is a passionate kung fu fighter. Her Turkish parents expect her to get
good grades so she can get into medical school, like her brother Ali. But school doesn’t inspire her.
Defying her family, Aïcha starts secretly training at a professional, co-ed kung fu club. A boy, Emil,
helps Aïcha train for the club championship and they fall in love. But the rules of life are not as
simple as the rules of kung fu, and Aïcha is forced to decide who she is and what she wants.
21.00 Uhr: Jade Warrior / Jadesoturi
21.00 Uhr: One Eye Red / Ett öga rött
Connecting Finnish and Chinese mythology, Jade Warrior is an imaginative, visually impressive motion picture, which was completed by creating special effects never before witnessed in Finnish
cinema. The effects include spectacular fighting scenes, breathtakingly beautiful scenery as well
as magnificent crowd scenes. Jade Warrior is an epic love story about the battle between good and
evil. It combines fantasy and kung fu elements and takes its inspiration from the Finnish national
epic, the “Kalevala”. The plot, centred on the Kalevala´s greatest hero, is set in two different times
and places, in modern Finland and in ancient China. 2000 years ago, a love-struck master swordsman fights against his destiny. He wants a another chance to be reunited with his love. He gets his
chance, in a faraway place and time: in the cold north, in modern Finland. The past is feeding the
present, slowly revealing the warrior, his true origins, his superior skills and his destiny.
“One eye red” is a heart warming and thrilling father and son story of the successful Swedish writer
Jonas Hassen Khemiri that deals with love, struggle and the conflict between the Western and the
Arabic way of life. Halim is a 15-year old boy who has lost his way in a fundamentalist world of ideas.
Father and son have just moved from the immigrant-dominated suburbs to central Stockholm
where the father hopes to give his son better opportunities than he had before. Halim, however, feels
that his father has started to lose his Arabic roots. He dreams of becoming Sweden`s mightiest
sultan of the mind bringing renewed pride to his community. At the same time he tries to distance
himself from all the confrontations at school and get a little closer to a girl he has had his eye on.
The film is directed by the Swedish debutant Daniel Wallentin, who has established himself as one
of Swedish Films most exciting directors with several internationally acclaimed shorts

Finnland 2007, Regie: Lauri Törhönen Untertitel: Englisch, Dauer. 114 min
Raja 1918 is set against the backdrop of the end of the Great War, i.e. WWI, and the Finnish civil war,
between the “reds” and the “whites”. The main character, Captain von Munck (Martin Bahne), is an
officer stationed to the Karelian Isthmus to establish a national border for the fledgling nation
state of Finland. His orders are to close the border between newly independent Finland and revolutionary Bolshevik Russia. With St. Petersburg just 40 km away, it is his duty to deal with fugitive
“reds”, such as the notorious Heikki Kiljunen (Tommi Korpela), smugglers, refugees trying to cross
the border and his own lieutenant who nurses a hatred for the reds bordering on the pathological (Lauri Nurkse). There is the NCO Paavo Muranen (Hannu-Pekka Björkman) of half-Finnish, halfRussian descent, and the Soviet border officer Gentsch (Leonid Mosgovoy) - a former aristocrat,
now a civilized officer and gentleman, who enjoys playing chess with his counterpart while trying
to allay the suspicions of his political officers. For most of the film, the border station is flooded
by a seemingly endless influx of refugees from Russia - aristocrats, educated people, artists, Jews,
and English spies. The orders for von Munck seem simple and straightforward enough: Finns and
nationals of other countries may pass, not Russians. Reds are to be shot. Carrying out his orders
proves increasingly complex and challenging for von Munck. Right choices turn out to be wrong
and correcting them makes things even worse. There is an order, there is even a border out there, but
where, in reality, is the “thin red line”, here and now between “us” and “them”?
21.00 Uhr: Parents / Foreldrar
Island 2007, Regie: Ragnar Bragason Untertitel: Englisch, Dauer: 120 min

these years he decides it’s time for a change. Einar is a stockbroker who is very successful at work
but not in his personal life. For the last couple of months Einar has been living at a hotel waiting
for his wife to realize the terrible mistake she made by throwing him out. Katrin Rose returns from
Sweden where she has lived for eight years. In Iceland Katrin has an eleven-year-old son, brought up
by his grandmother and now Katrin wants him back. Katrin gets a job as a dentist’s assistant intending to make a fresh start but her troubled past catches up with her. PARENTS is the independent

Veranstaltungstipp: Kulturhistorische Reisevorträge
im Volksbildungshaus Wiener Urania:
19.00 Uhr: Genosse Pedersen / Comrade Pedersen / Gymnaslaerer Pedersen
Norwegen 2006, Regie: Hans Petter Moland Untertitel: Deutsch, Dauer: 123 min
Als der Junglehrer Knut Pedersen, 28, gegen Ende der sechziger Jahre nach Larvik fährt, um dort
seine erste Stelle am Gymnasium anzutreten, ist es vor allem der rote Rock einer Mitreisenden,
dem er während der Zugfahrt seine ganze Aufmerksamkeit schenkt. Mit ähnlich schmachtenden
Blicken wird er später auch die Rote Fahne anhimmeln, denn Studienrat Pedersen ist dann in die
Revolution heftig verliebt. Zunächst heiratet er zwar gutbürgerlich, doch bald gewinnt ihn ein rebellischer Schüler für die Marxistisch-Leninistische Arbeiterpartei AKP. Als ihm dort die Ärztin Nina
begegnet, verfällt er der attraktiven Genossin total. Auch nachdem sie das Verhältnis mit ihm beendet, bleibt Pedersen seiner Liebe zu ihr und dem Traum von der Revolution treu. Mit feinem Humor
schildert Hans Petter Moland in seiner Romanverfilmung die unfreiwillig komischen Aspekte im
Leben selbst ernannter Klassenkämpfer. Doch nicht weniger einfühlsam stellt er in seinem Film
auch die tragischen und selbstzerstörerischen Züge von Angehörigen einer Generation dar, die sich
als Kinder von Mao und Rock ‘n’ Roll empfanden.
21.00 Uhr: Arn - The Knight Templar / Arn - Tempelriddaren
Schweden 2007/08, Regie: Peter Flinth Untertitel: Englisch, Dauer: 139 min
The film about Arn and Cecilia is set in Sweden as well as the Middle East, and offers a rich gallery
of brave knights, powerful queens and treacherous kings. It is a tale of war and intrigue, friendship
and betrayal, but also an unforgettable love story. Arn Magnussson is born in 1150 on Arnas farm in
West Gothia in the western part of Sweden. He grows up to become an educated young man and a
skilled swordsman. He meets Cecilia, the love of his life, but a cruel and jealous world forces them
apart. Cecilia is imprisoned in a convent and Arn is sent away as a Knight Templar to the Holy Land,
where war is raging between Christians and Muslims. They both have to fight to survive, they have
to learn how to confront evil and overcome physical hardship. In spite of their painful separation
they have the confidence that they will one day be reunited. When Arn returns home he has to fight
for his love and what has become his life’s mission: to unite Sweden into one kingdom.
