One of Finland's leading filmmakers, Selma Vilhunen has given voice to women of all ages in her works of fiction and non-fiction, from the Oscar-nominated short film "Do I Have to Take Care of Everything" to the Berlin Crystal Bear award-winning film "Stupid Young Heart" and her most recent film "Four Little Adults", for which Alma Pöysti won the Best Actor Award in Gothenburg.

Her next picture, “She Did Not Show Remorse,” will be her most ambitious epic work, but also her most enraging look at the female culture of shame in patriarchal societies.
Vilhunen and producer Venla Hellstedt of Finland's Dionysos Films exclusively revealed details about the storyline and the first visual to Variety ahead of their pitch at the Nordic Co-Production Market in Haugesund on August 21.
Vilhunen's first foray into costume drama is based on Tommi Kinnunen's bestseller “Ei kertonut katuvansa” (“Resistance” in English), which itself is inspired by true events.
