They say that the army turns a boy into a man, but what does it do to girls? Female soldiers -series follows young women in army greens for about a year. Many men do their military service just because it is mandatory. But women volunteering to do it are usually aiming high. Achieving big dreams takes lots of hard work and each of the women test their own extreme limits both physically and mentally. There will be tears and disappointments but also laughter, joy and success. In this series for the very first time we get to see a glimpse of how military service in the Finnish defense forces looks like for young women. We follow their journey and dramatic challenges from new recruits towards goals and the dream of a place in leadership training or special crew assignments. How far will the women get and how will the army change the girls?
