The Solar Wind (also known as Sun Wind; Finnish: Aurinkotuuli) is a 1980 Finnish science fiction drama film directed by Timo Linnasalo [fi]. It is based on the 1975 novel of the same name by Kullervo Kukkasjärvi [fi], while Kukkasjärvi himself works as the film's producer.[1] Like the novel, the film tells the story of a gravity scientist who died in 1970 and is brought back to life in 1999 after being deep-frozen in a world that has faced an eco-catastrophe. The film is starring by Paavo Piskonen [fi], Lilga Kovanko [fi] and Antti Litja.[2]
