A conflicted soul is a character for the art scene..

It is still a fantastic premise for a movie. And as it is in Finnish, you don't have to mold it into the American standard. If you wanted to do that, you should bring up the religious Christian overtones. Christians versus pagans, it always works - even if it means selling your soul to the market forces..
