Here, Beneath the North Star

Based On the book by Väinö Linna

Here, Beneath the North Star (Under the Northern Star in the US release; Finnish: Täällä Pohjantähden alla) is a 1968 Finnish drama film directed by Edvin Laine. The film is based on the first two volumes of Väinö Linna's novel trilogy Under the North Star. The third volume was adapted into a film two years later under the title Akseli and Elina. With a budget of approximately FIM 2.6 million (approximately $500,000), the film was one of the most expensive Finnish films of its time, and one of the first in which the Finnish Broadcasting Company (YLE) participated in the production costs.
