The Day the Earth Froze

Based on Finnish mythology, this movie traces the exploits of LemminkÃ¤inen as he woos the fair Annikki and battles the evil witch Louhi. Louhi kidnaps Annikki to compel her father to build for her a Sampo, a magical device that creates salt, grain, and gold. When LemminkÃ¤inen tries (and fails) to recover the Sampo, Louhi steals the sun, plunging the world into frozen darkness.
