Marta Balaga Finnish director Klaus Härö makes his English-language debut with Toronto Film Festival premiere “My Sailor, My Love.” A gentle drama about a retired sea captain falling in love one last time will be spotlighted at the Helsinki-based event Finnish Film Affair next.

With English, there is always this thought that maybe this way, it will reach more people. But it just felt natural to set it in Ireland.”
