Helsinki, 1942: As Nazi influence spreads across Europe, a Jewish community leader uncovers a secret plan to deport refugees to the Gestapo. With time running out, he must decide how far he’s willing to go to save lives — and whether he dares to stand alone against his own government.

NEVER ALONE, from acclaimed director Klaus Härö („My Sailor, My Love“; Oscar-shortlisted and Golden Globe-nominated „The Fencer“), tells the true story of a man who stood up against rising injustice during one of Europe’s darkest moments. A powerful historical drama based on real events, the film opened to box office success in Finland, drawing over 33,000 admissions in its first weekend and surpassing 100,000 in just two weeks.
