About this release
Nightborn, released internationally under its Finnish title Yön lapsi, is scheduled for release on July 1, 2026. The film is a Finnish-language production set largely in an isolated house deep in the Finnish forest.
The story centers on Saga, who moves with her British husband Jon to the remote woodland home where she grew up, with the intention of raising a family there. After their child is born, Saga becomes convinced something is wrong with the infant — a belief that those around her do not share. The tension between her suspicions and the skepticism of others, including Jon, strains the marriage and drives the film's central conflict.
