Drama "Risttuules" is a movie about mass deportation to Siberia based on memories of Erna. It all started 14th of June 1941 when trucks came for the innocent families with their children where they headed to train station and later by animal wagons to Siberia. "How to survive hunger, cold, humiliation, losing friends and freedom, but still keep living on, when almost all hope is lost?"

	Media	Author	Review
		Alissa Simon Variety	"An art film in every sense of the word; the extraordinary visual techniques he uses to convey a sense of being frozen in time won’t be to all tastes, but those open to a different sort of cinema will find it a very poignant experience."
		Nikola Grozdanovic IndieWire	"“In The Crosswind” may not be wowing mainstream audiences, but history buffs and cinephiles interested in unique storytelling will feel like they’ve struck gold. Martti Helde has made a grand entrance into arthouse cinema, and we can’t wait to see what he’ll do next."
		Deborah Young The Hollywood Reporter	"Black and white tableaux vivants in an impressive first film"
