Sisu: Road to Revenge

The film closes with Aatami Korpi finally confronting the Soviet enforcer who has haunted him since the tragedy that destroyed his family. After a relentless chase across the frozen frontier, Korpi corners Igor Draganov and, in a brutal, almost ritualistic duel, ends the man who orchestrated the massacre of his loved ones. The kill is swift and ruthless, underscoring the immortal reputation Korpi has earned, but also delivering the personal vengeance that has driven him forward.

With Draganov dead, the immediate threat evaporates and Korpi is able to continue the perilous trek toward the Finnish border, where the remains of his family’s house await reconstruction. Instead of facing a new battlefield, he is met by a group of locals who step in to help rebuild the dwelling. The final scenes linger on Korpi’s rare, almost silent astonishment as he accepts their assistance—a moment that reveals the lingering humanity beneath his hardened exterior. He is shown working side‑by‑side with his new neighbours, tools in hand, his blood‑stained rifle set aside.

The closing shot, framed like a still photograph of Korpi and the community completing the house, serves as both an emotional resolution and a quiet promise. It suggests that, after a path of relentless violence, the Immortal can finally lay down his weapons and reclaim a piece of the life that was taken from him—whether that marks the end of his saga or a doorway to future conflicts is left to the imagination.
