Finnish Afternoon Film: Letters to Father Jacob

Cana­dian Friends of Fin­land Sun­day After­noon Films presents:

Let­ters to Father Jacob (Pos­tia pappi Jaakobille)

Win­ner of the 2010 Annual Finnish Jussi Film Awards
for Best Film, Direc­tor, Actor and Music
and awards at three Inter­na­tional Film Fes­ti­vals in 2009

Let­ters to Father Jacob fol­lows two won­der­ful, mov­ing char­ac­ters each on their own unusual path. The two paths cross when Leila, who has recently been par­doned from a life-sentence for mur­der, goes to work as a per­sonal assis­tant for Father Jacob. Leila is only used to tak­ing care of her­self, and a job as an assis­tant to Father Jacob does not come easy. Two fully dif­fer­ent worlds get mixed unex­pect­edly, and the roles of a helper and a per­son in need for help turn around.

Klaus Härö fea­tures won­der­ful per­for­mances by Heikki Nou­si­ainen and Kaa­rina Hazard.
