‘Never Alone’ Clip as Director Klaus Härö Introduces a Flawed Real-Life Hero With a ‘Big Heart and Big Mouth’ (EXCLUSIVE)

Härö, also behind Golden Globe-nominated “The Fencer” and “Elina,” felt “disappointed” upon finding out more about the little-known history of his country, which initially sided with Germany against the Soviet Union. But if we go back to [previous 2009 film] ‘Letters to Father Jacob,’ one of the reasons I fell in love with that script was because it told a realistic story about faith. While recent years brought “more nuanced portrayals” of what happened during the war, Härö is still waiting to see how local audiences will react to the acknowledgment of “Finland’s small part in this concentration of evil.” But it’s forgiveness, not revenge, that’s at the heart of his film.
