Johan Ulfstjerna (1936 film)

The film takes place in Helsinki at the turn of the twentieth century when an underground resistance movement attempts to liberate Finland from the Russian Empire. It is the last night of 1899, and students at the university are having a student union dance. Despite the festivities, discontent is simmering. Professor Stenbäck leads the students in an underground movement against the Russians. The country is to become even more Russian according to a new bill, which will soon be signed by the Governor-General. The student movement therefore decides to assassinate the Governor. A lottery is drawn to choose the perpetrator of this act. ==Cast==
