Laulu tunturille

This short film documents a private trip taken by Helismaa and Rautavaara through the snowy terrain of Lapland in the 1940s. The film features the song "Leave, leave for the fells, leave for Ylläs..." sung by the two artists, which adds a personal touch to the breathtaking visuals of the landscape.

In addition to showcasing the stunning winter scenery, Laulu tunturille presents a rare glimpse into the lives of its subjects during this era. The film highlights the camaraderie of the travelers, including their wives, as they navigate the beautiful yet harsh environment. The intimate performances, particularly Tapsa's rendition of "Rakovalkea," further enhance the film's appeal, making it a meaningful piece of cultural history.
