Noiseless & Patient - Prince Edward Island, Canada, 1883 - four young spinsters of Scottish, Irish and English descent unravel their disparate stories of love, betrayal and hope as they spin and sew their young friend's wedding dress, looking towards uncertain futures in a pioneering land of mixed opportunities. Sisu - Meet Sisu - one part salty liquorice, two parts Moomin, three parts snow - from the land of saunas, kiosks and Sibelius. Add a generous splash of vodka, shake and you have a girl with Finnish guts. Learn how the Sisu or Finnish character was formed during the snow-bound Winter War of 1939-1940, when the Finnish maiden with her tiny army defeated the mighty Russian bear, and how one young woman continues to battle her way through the modern world.
