Begin jaren 50. Endel moet vluchten voor de geheime politie van Stalin en duikt onder in een klein kuststadje in Estland. Om zijn hoofd boven water te houden neemt de jonge vechter een baan aan als leraar lichamelijke opvoeding in de plaatselijke school. Terwijl de kinderen dolenthousiast zijn over de nieuwe sportleraar, zijn zowel zijn collega's als superieuren nogal sceptisch tegenover de nieuwkomer, waardoor Endels geheime identiteit dreigt ontdekt te worden. Maar zijn roeping ligt in het onderwijs en niets of niemand kan hem dwingen zijn werk met de kinderen op te geven.
Nee, helaas is Miekkailija nog niet beschikbaar op Netflix in Nederland.
