On April 13th 1976, a devastating munitions factory accident shook the town of Lapua, Finland. Hundreds of kilograms of gunpowder ignited, causing an explosion that took the lives of 40 workers. Lapua 1976 tells a story of love, life, perseverance, grief and hope in the face of unbelievable calamity.
This is a story about various people in Lapua in Finland in April 1976. Their lives are affected by an explosion in a local factory. I remember this day very well. It was the largest accident in Finland after WW II, I think. Finland literally stopped that day.
This movie is very moving and I honestly think it is one of the best Finnish movies I have seen in a long time. It transferred me to this small community and I felt that I almost became a part of these people's lives.
The music was haunting at times and reminded me of the music used in Titanic and Pearl Harbor. When this music comes you sort of stop, stand still and reflect.
