85 Minutes 


NEVER ALONE tells the gripping story of Jewish refugees seeking safety in Finland during WWII. As Nazi influence grows, the Finnish-Jewish businessman Abraham Stiller (Ville Virtanen, Netflix's Bordertown) risks everything to protect the refugee community. This powerful film showcases courage, resilience, and the fight for hope amidst overwhelming adversity.

From the celebrated director Klaus Härö, known for Oscar-shortlisted "The Fencer“ and Golden Globe-nominated "My Sailor, My Love,“ comes a powerful true story of resilience and defiance. Based on actual events during World War II, NEVER ALONE shines a light on the plight of Jewish refugees seeking sanctuary in Finland and the unwavering hero who risked everything to protect them.
