## Synopsis

Red Line is a 1959 Finnish drama film directed by Matti Kassila. The screenplay by Kassila is based on the 1909 novel of the same name by Ilmari Kianto. The film was entered into the 1st Moscow International Film Festival; however, the reception at the film festival was poor due to the exaggerated character of a social democratic agitator and weak quality of the film's subtitles.
