"The Finnish Schindler": The true-life World War II film is now in theaters.

One of the most unknown true stories of World War II is coming to Spanish theaters. A Finnish production, full of tension, humanity, and historical awareness, rescues from oblivion a silent hero who risked everything to save lives in the midst of Nazi persecution.

This is Never Alone , the new feature film by director and screenwriter Klaus Härö , responsible for acclaimed titles such as The Fencing Lesson and Letters to Father Jacob . The film, which has been in theaters since August 8, tells the story of Abraham Stiller (Ville Virtanen), a Jewish businessman from Helsinki who, in 1942, took on his country's state apparatus alone.

His goal was to stop the secret renditions of Jewish refugees to the Gestapo , organized by the Finnish security services, while the country maintained a strategic alliance with Nazi Germany . Despite his titanic efforts, he was unable to achieve the great progress achieved by German businessman Oskar Schindler , but at least one life was saved thanks to him.

Based on true events, the film is inspired by the real-life Abraham Stiller, brother of filmmaker Mauritz Stiller (a collaborator of Greta Garbo ), who became a key figure in the Finnish Jewish community. Using a sublime historical setting and a restrained gaze, the film portrays the conflict between institutional obedience and moral responsibility.

Never Alone is Härö's most ambitious project, which he has worked on for over fifteen years . With four films selected by Finland for the Oscars , the director consolidates his position as one of the most prominent voices in contemporary Nordic cinema. The film not only appeals to historical memory, but also raises current questions about ethics, power, and political silence.
