The Cuckoo is a special war drama set against the backdrop of World War II, with three characters who do not have a common language. There is a Finnish sniper, a Soviet soldier, and a Sami woman who, getting stranded together in a cabin in the middle of nowhere, try to survive and understand each other in a few short words and lines, the film relies on a mere plot and dialogue. It's a powerful, moving drama about humanity and the absurdity of war; it lets the actors deliver and the Arctic scenery creates a narrative that speaks volumes.
