Melnitz Movies and the Scandinavian Section present Letters to Father Jacob, Finland's Academy Award entry for Best Foreign Language Film. Leila, recently pardoned from a life-sentence for murder, goes to work as a personal assistant to Pastor Jacob. At the rectory, two completely different lives become unexpectedly intertwined, and the roles of the helper and the one being helped are turned upside down.
