"The Border", also known as "Raja 1918" and "Border 1918", is a 2007 Finnish movie starring Martin Bahne set in the immediate aftermath of the Finnish Civil War of 1918. The year is 1918. The Finnish Civil War has just ended. Captain Carl von Munck, newly returned from the victorious Civil War, is posted near the border to Soviet Russia to prevent "illegal" people from crossing the border. In the tense aftermath of the Civil War, with thousands of Russian refugees fleeing from the aftermath of the Russian bolshevik victory in Russia, noone with Russian heritage is allowed to cross, unless they are willing to face a Finnish firing squad.
