What happens

Linnaisten vihreä kamari (The Green Chamber of Linnais) is a 1945 Finnish film directed by Valentin Vaala. Mixing elements of horror and romance, it is based on an 1859 novel The Green Chamber of the Linnainen Mansion (Linnaisten kartanon viheriä kamari) by Zachris Topelius. The film represents the style of pure escapism with its mansion settings filled with romances, wrong identities and centuries-old secrets. It was the most watched Finnish premiere film of 1945 and went on to win three Jussi Awards; Rauli Tuomi for best actor in a leading role, Eino Heino for best cinematography and Roy for best production design.
