The whole story of Urho Kekkonen, the most important statesman during Finland's independence.

What was Finlandization? What did lying to oneself do to a nation? How low did Finland grovel in the mud and what was all that was necessary? Or was it a success story, because independence was preserved? The series takes us from the end of the World War to the 1990s. It focuses on the 1970s, with its 'Taistoists' and its liturgies of friendship, as well as on the role played by Finnish Broadcasting Company and other media in the Finlandization process.

An eight-part documentary series about the life of Mauno Koivisto, 9th president of Finland.
