Jokin ihmisessä (1956)

Pitch-noir melodrama about young Kauko's endless obsession and love/hate relationship with Osmi, a girl he has known since childhood. Standing at her deathbed, Kauko reminisces his years spent as a sailor, prisoner, smuggler, and soldier in the Second World War, while Osmi manages to evolve from prostitution to a seemingly-happy family life with someone else.
