The miniseries "The Unknown Soldier" expands on the story of the 2017 film of the same name. The World War II series, based on the classic novel by Väinö Linna, closely follows a machine gun company of the Finnish Army on the front in Karelia during the Continuation War between Finland and the Soviet Union, from the mobilization in 1941 to the Moscow Armistice in 1944. It is a story about how camaraderie, humor, and the will to survive connect men on their journey. War disrupts the lives of both individual soldiers and those left on the home front, leaving its mark on the entire nation.
