Well,
can you see anyone you know?
Yeah.
That's you.
13 years old, just like you.
Are you excited?
Yes.
Do not worry about it.
Just do it.
Will my picture go up there too?
It's up to you.
My part is now done.
You are on your own now.
The others are waiting.
I will be here a little while.
Alright. A little while.
It was a deer.
Now comes the elk.
Unwrap this, Oskari.
It should have a red cross on it.
Yeah.
That is our secret.
A place with guaranteed game.
- Are there deer in there? - Absolutely.
Gorgeous horned ones.
Good. I know how to call them.
Have a good rest...
and wait until dawn.
Remember to move under the wind.
And when the sun rises...
it's the best moment.
It's when you must to be ready to shoot.
Dad?
I'll do my best.
Good. You should.
What did you forget?
Fuel tap.
There you go. Show them.
Please don't screw this up.
Come on!
All the way!
Oskari!
Do not give up!
The boy will go home.
No he won't.
- It's been made exceptions in the past. - Really? When?
Kuusisto boy.
Hamara? He sat in a wheelchair. Such can not be sent to the forest.
No, that's right, Tapio. It is best to send them home.
Rather then release the outcry of the whole village.
We have trained like crazy. Just look at him.
Remember who is his teacher.
I brought home a bear.
- He is not like you. - He is my son.
I'm not going to look after him if he gets lost.
The boy is ready.
You'll give the speech like you normally would...
and you'll send the boy into the forest.
Well, fine then.
You're the one who will get embarrassed.
Good.
Men!
This little man has hunter's blood running through his veins.
The boy is now standing in front of men like each one of you has once stood.
Ready to continue the tradition.
The boy has one day and one night, to find out what he is made of.
In the morning he will bring us what the forest sees fit.
The forest is a harsh judge.
It will give everyone adequately.
You need to know how to listen to it.
You need to fight tooth and nail for the prey.
You will not get anything for free.
The one who enters the forest is a boy,
but the one who returns will be...
a man.
God damn it.
"Happy Birthday - Dad"
The forest is a harsh judge.
It will give everyone adequately.
You need to know how to listen to it.
You need to fight tooth and nail for the prey.
You will not get anything for free.
Your boy has got lost.
Wasn't that what I said?
Holy Shit! What the hell...?
That's my boy.
Dad.
This is...
Oskari. God damn.
Damn, it's the same guy all right.
Say Cheese.
