Inspired by a well-known Finnish epic called The Kalevala; the story opens with a down-on-his luck hardware merchant who gets dumped by his girlfriend. She tries to dispose of his collection of Asian artifacts at an antique dealer; but this sets off a mythical series of events that turns the merchant into a warrior prince; fated to battle a demon in icy northern Finland; responsible for enslaving all of humankind. The prince is abetted - and then ultimately betrayed - by a two-faced female warrior who has captured his heart and thus carries his greatest weakness in her hands. The battle involves enchanted boxes; spectacular swordfights; and supernatural events that come together - simultaneously - in an isolated cabin on the outskirts of Helsinki and in the rural Chinese mountains. Starring: Tommi Eronen, Markku Peltola, Jingchu Zhang, Krista Kosonen, Hao Dang, Taisheng Chen. 110 min. English subtitled.
