Rauta-aika (=iron-age) is a miniseries about the ancient mythological history of the finnic folk (itämerensuomalaiset). The story is based on the Kalevala, including Väinämöinen, Ilmarinen, Lemminkäinen, Joukahainen, Aino, and the Northlanders. And of course the Sampo. In the ancient times two rival nations battle for women and for the Sampo, which brings infinite wealth to the possessor. Only in Rauta-aika the Sampo is a fake-money-machine. I did not some of the other modifications either, like the way they made Lemminkäinen a clown and weakling. But, watch Rauta-aika and don't try o compare it to the Kalevala, and you will enjoy it (or maybe not). For those who haven't read Kalevala or no its plot, Rauta-aika will work out well.
