The messenger tells the story of the son of a history professor who died while working, who begins to uncover strange things about his father's past and research. From books, writings, and small pieces of information, the truth begins to emerge, a truth meant for only a few, but one that must be passed on. The message entrusted to the chosen messengers is greater than many human lives and so valuable that immeasurable sacrifices must be made. The Messenger is a combination of traditional and modern Finnish cinema.

Like good soldiers in a war-zone, hospital staff are expected to respect the chain of command when dealing with life and death situations. But what happens when smug doctors, arrogant surgeons, and out-of-touch administrators make that easier said than done? Nurses deals with the professional and personal lives of four female colleagues who cope in different ways with the challenges of life on the trauma ward. With determination, strength, and a dark sense of humor, they achieve the demanding and inspiring task of saving lives in a system that sometimes seems designed to do the opposite.
