Hella W

At last Finnish cinema gives us a heroine - a strong woman, one who takes her place, if no place is offered to her.

Every Finn knows the characters of Hella Wuolijoki's Niskavuori plays, but the eventful life of the author is less known to many. Writer Outi Nyytäjä and director Juha Wuolijoki's journey into Hella's past makes the story of the famous playwright, politician and businesswoman familiar to all.

The development of the project is supported by The Finnish Film Foundation.
