Soup & Cinema: Miekkailija (The Fencer)

Enjoy the Finnish/Estonian film Miekkailija (The Fencer) and hot soup at the National Nordic Museum!

Inspired by the life of Estonian fencing champion Endel Nelis, The Fencer is set in Haapsalu, Estonia, in the early 1950s. Having left Leningrad to escape the secret police, Endel finds work as a teacher and starts an after-school sports club for his students. When he teaches his students how to fence, his great passion for the sport conflicts with the need to keep his background hidden.
