QFTGreat flash-site there. I'll have to wait for a subtitled version of the movie though.
I hope that this is going to be better than the earlier film Lindman made. And it just have to be better actually.

Perkele has few meanings:
1. It means devil in biblical literature.
2. It is a term about Ukko, an ancient God in some finnish peasant religion (not 100% sure about this one, can't remember so early at the morning)
3. It is a swear word.
So that's perkele for you, perkele.
Latvian and Lithuanian languages are in different language "family" - they are in Baltic family, while Estonian and Finnish are in Finno-Ugor (at least, that's what it's called in Russian), Wikipedia tells "Uralic" for some odd reason. So I'd say that this word is from Estonian.
