What happens

The Solar Wind (also known as Sun Wind; Finnish: Aurinkotuuli) is a 1980 Finnish science fiction drama film directed by Timo Linnasalo. It is based on the 1975 novel of the same name by Kullervo Kukkasjärvi, while Kukkasjärvi himself works as the film's producer. Like the novel, the film tells the story of a gravity scientist who died in 1970 and is brought back to life in 1999 after being deep-frozen in a world that has faced an eco-catastrophe. The film stars Paavo Piskonen, Lilga Kovanko and Antti Litja. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
