Wiki.
The Rapids-Rider's Brides (Finnish: Koskenlaskijan morsian) is a 1923 Finnish silent film directed, written, and produced by Erkki Karu. The film is based on the 1914 novel of the same name by Väinö Kataja. It was Karu's first feature-length film.
The film was shot at Suomi-Filmi's studio on Vironkatu in Helsinki as well as on location in the village of Tapola in Iitti and at Mankala Rapids, where the Mankala Hydroelectric Plant was later built in 1950. It was the most popular Finnish film of the 1920s and was exported to around ten countries, including Japan. The film premiered on January 1, 1923, at Kino-Palatsi in Helsinki.
The film was a commercial success, being sold to multiple countries.
The story revolves around love and reconciliation amidst the threat of death. After a young man drowns in the rapids, his neighbor Heikki (played by Jaakko Korhonen) is blamed. Heikki's son Juhani (Einar Rinne) seeks to make peace and hopes to marry Hanna (Heidi Korhonen), the drowned man's sister. However, Hanna is in love with Antti from Koskenalusta (Oiva Soini).
