Pessi ja Illusia

The fairy Illusia, daughter of Light, is threatened by an evil spiderman and menaced by the “White Death”. Far from her rainbow homeland, she meets the troll Pessi on earth. Through her friendship with him and her faith in the force of Good, she is able to conquer Evil in the world. In the sub-plot, a father tells this story to his daughter to explain to her the madness of the war in which he has to fight. An impressive and magnificently photographed children's film which contrasts reality and fantasy, and blends them playfully. Staged with all the lightness of a dance, it helps children to come to terms with terrible themes. It is an imaginative call for children's right to peace and shows how a willingness to cooperate can make it possible for humankind to live together in harmony.
