Jade Warrior

Annila, Antii-JussiKai (Tommi Eronen) is a smith, living in the countryside outside Helsinki, he has just split up with his girlfriend Ronja (Krist Kosonem) and is heart-broken. Ronja is moving on and moving away from Helsinki. Before she leaves, she takes some of Kai's belongings to a run-down antique shop named 'Sang Fu', unaware that it is home to two Kalevala researchers; Berg (Markku Peltola) and Weckstrom (Elle Kull).

The Kalevala is Finland's epic poem, once part of the tradition of folk poems, it tells of the creation of the world and struggles between good and evil. One of its main characters is a heroic smith named Seppo, creator of a machine named the Sampo, a machine with the power to be the source of happiness. In Chinese mythology (according to 'JADE WARRIOR'), Nocktress had nine sons; the ninth, nameless, son is said to have stolen a machine called Sampo, a machine that could bring hell to earth.

Berg and Weckstrom believe they a significant discovery, related to the Sampo, deep in a marsh, clutched by the arms of a mummified man. When this object reacts to Kai's belongings, Berg takes it to him; an act that re-ignites an ancient conflict between good and evil, bringing Kai's destiny, and past, into his life. As the link between the past and present becomes stronger, the life of the warrior Sentai, who struggled against fate, the ninth son and his love for Pin Yu (Zhang Jing-Chu), collides with Kai's, as he attempts to craft the Sampo. Will it be the source of happiness or will it bring hell to earth?
