Mirccu, 28, works as the PR manager for a record company. Expecting a raise, Mirccu is shocked
when her boss, dramatic record mogul Martin Bakka, threatens to sack her. Though he tells her,
in no uncertain terms, that she is a disappointment and lacks the key to success, Martin gives her
one last chance to figure it all out.
Mirccu and her boyfriend Roba, a celebrity seeking, mediocre footballer, ponder if the good
times are really over and will they do what’s necessary in order to succeed.
Opportunity presents itself in the form of the record company’s new secret project, code
named; “Dirty Bomb”. Behind the code name is a 15-year-old girl, ruthless teenage sensation,
PD. Mirccu must work as her assistant and sacrifice everything for the project – her reputation,
honor, soul and, of course, her boyfriend. These are the keys to her success. But is the sweet and
caring Mirccu ready to play the game?

Garbage Prince
[
R o s k i s p r i n s s i

With no destination planned or an explanation why, Jed (19) walks out on his former life and
boards a train. Happenstance brings him to a small eastern town where he soon comes face to
face with the daily rigors of independent life. Coping becomes a challenge for him, almost to the
point of obsession. Of all the people in town, Jed seems to constantly run across the prickly and
quick-witted Lulu (17). The girl knows how to party hard and Jed often has to look after her or
take her home while delivering his newspapers at night. They despise one another and Lulu tells
Jed outright that he’s a loser and “just another idiot in town”. A big dog, Jesse-James, insists on
sharing the misery of Jed’s life, choosing him for his master regardless of Jed’s feelings on the
subject. Jed perseveres and when the bitter cold of autumn arrives, he gets a job as an assistant
garbage collector. Lulu turns up more and more at Jed’s place and their relationship gradually,
without either of them admitting it, changes from a bickering battle of wills to friendship and
ultimately to love.

A Journey to Eden is the story of two male artists travelling in winter through the famous La Rioja
wine-growing region of Northern Spain. One of the men, Ignacio – a Basque modern music composer living in Finland – is weighed down by the traumatic guilt of his daughter’s car accident in
Helsinki that left her in a coma. The other man, Comaz – a Swiss painter living in Spain – suffers
from a creative block after the hand model for his drawings has announced she no longer wishes
to continue. The men view religious paintings of hands displayed in churches and monasteries.
Their travels ultimately bring them to the chapel of the renowned Remelluri wine estate at La
Rioja Alavesa where the Basque painter Vicente Ameztoy created his own visual interpretation of
Adam and Eve’s last moment of happiness in Eden. While gazing at the painting, the travellers experience a spiritual epiphany about the meaning of forgiveness which paves the way for a chance
of a better future.

Lapland Odyssey
[
N a p a p i i r i n
s a n k a r i t
]
A comedy about three long-term unemployed young men, living in Lapland, who set out on a quest
to find a digital receiver, a digi box, on a wintery Friday night. Lapland is rough, cold and suicide
kills more than traffic. The sun almost never comes up, all the women have left to work in the
south and the men stay to drink, take care of reindeers or hang themselves.
Our main character, Janne, is exceptional: he has a girlfriend, Inari. But he hasn’t managed to
get a digi box until finally Inari won’t take any more explanations and threatens to move to south,
unless he returns with a digi box by the morning. The quest is a tough one, since the boys are broke
and Rovaniemi, where Janne’s father-in-law has a home appliance store, is 200 kilometers away.
As the night proceeds, the boys try to operate an illegal taxi business, make a hole in the ice for
a “ladies’ under water rugby team”, and slaughter a reindeer for a group of noveau riche Russians.
Each attempt to earn money ends up worse than the other. As the night approaches morning, Janne
dares to challenge all odds in order to get the digi box – even death. In the end, the quest is not
about Inari – never mind the digi box – but a desire that has woken within Janne to, for once in his
life, finish something he has begun. It is a quest for a man to find his dignity and belief in himself.

“Let’s pretend we’re doing well.”
Sami Luoto is a family man in his forties with a secret dream. He wants to succeed like his
father and build a fancy house for himself, his wife and their teenage daughter.
Life for Sale is a dramatic thriller of one unlucky man’s descent into disaster. It examines contemporary social undertones such as; what is the measure of success? Can love be measured? Can
a man fail totally and then pick himself up and try again?
Despite its challenging subject, the movie – based on the upcoming novel of the same title by
Marko Leino - is full of humor with an ending that offers hope to all.

Aleksi Mäkelä
A self-taught movie director, Aleksi Mäkelä (b. 1969) is the most successful of the modern
era Finnish directors: the total domestic audience of his movies in theatrical release is over
2 million. The biggest domestic box office hit since the eighties, Bad Boys
(Pahat pojat), drew a phenomenal audience of 615,000 in only 5 months.
Regardless of the genre, the common factors in Mäkelä’s movies are a
masculine point-of-view, fast-paced action and a boyish sense of humor.
Life for Sale (Kotirauha) is his tenth feature fi lm. His debut The
Romanov Stones (Romanovin kivet) was released in 1993.
Besides movies, Mäkelä has directed hundreds of hours of TV series,
commercials and music videos. Aleksi Mäkelä was given the State Art

A fi lm about a woman, judged to be ill by society, who heals and brings joy to people around her

Princess is a light-hearted fi lm based on a true story, concerning the most famous patient of
Kellokoski psychiatric hospital, Anna Lappalainen. Diagnosed as manic depressive with symptoms of schizophrenia, Anna Lappalainen claims to be a princess when brought into the hospital
and does not want to be called by her own name. Lappalainen’s arrival kick-starts a long battle

Kellokoski hospital becomes the Princess’s castle where Anna holds court, bringing joy and healing to her surroundings.

It is the Second World War. In Finland at the Russian front is an evacuation center where dead
soldiers are gathered to be sent home.
Silence is the story of Eino, the dim-witted son of a man whose job is to wash the dead bodies.
Eino joins the war with his simple soul full of heroic ideals. Life in the small community turns out
to be more complicated than the war itself and the evacuation center is spiced up by the characters that run it; Chaplain Hiltunen, crazy about his numbers and charts; Korpikangas, a former
medical student straight from a mental institution; Miina, an old cupper woman; and two young
“Lottas” (female volunteers), Jaana with a hard shell and Siiri with an open heart.
Most important to Eino, however, is his lifelong friend Antti, for whom his jäger father has
arranged an innocuous job at the center. Antti is a charming rogue who who tricks Eino into
doing all his work while he himself concentrates on wooing the ladies and trading illegally
across the front line.

The Storage

Antero Rousku works as a warehouseman at a paint shop. His work is of the raw muscle variety,
where he mixes paint and carries renovation materials from one place to another in order to
make ends meet. Rousku, however, is not content with merely making ends meet. Instead, he sells
his employer’s wares under the table to Jylhäkorpi, who frequents the shop. Jylhäkorpi is a devout
and outspoken communist given to unscrupulous stealing in spite of his ideology, or, perhaps,
because of it.
Rousku’s work mate in the cellar of the warehouse is run-of-the-mill working-class guy Raninen, whose life consists of work and arguing with his wife. In playing the lottery, Raninen not only
wants to win but wants to get the winning numbers in precisely the order they come spinning out
of the lottery machine. Not the sharpest pencil in the box, therefore, our Raninen…
Rousku’s freedom is threatened by a relationship with Karita, the sales girl at the paint shop.
Rousku wants to keep the woman at arm’s length except, of course, when in her bed. Karita, however, has decided otherwise, and the noose tightens around Rousku’s neck when Karita announces that she’s pregnant.

After being freed from a prison camp, Akseli Koskela retires away to his tenant farm, cultivating
the land and bitterly trying to come to terms with the ghosts of his past. Without sparing himself,
he works for the future of his children. When the day finally comes that Akseli is allowed to buy
the tenant farm for himself, he imagines that everything will turn for the better, but fate has different plans in store for him.
The Winter War breaks out. The Soviet Union tries to invade Finland. Although torn by civil war
twenty years earlier, the Finnish nation now stands united, and the impossible happens. Despite
being vastly outnumbered, the Finns stop the enemy, but at a heavy price for the entire country,
and for Akseli. His two youngest sons are killed and, to Akseli’s shock, his third son chooses a
career in the military instead of farming the family’s lands. Akseli’s worst fears are realised when
his eldest son also dies at the front, during the waning moments of the Continuation War.
Finland keeps its independence, as does Akseli, who is now a landowner – but has all of it
been worth it? In Akseli’s own words: “What’s the use of all this, if nothing remains? What’s the
use of Koskela (farm)? From the first push of my father’s shovel into the ground, a lifetime of toiling, and in the end, nothing...”

It is the beginning of the 20th century, a time when Helsinki is actually two cities; one of the rich
upper class and that of the poor workers. South of Long Bridge lives the independent and curious
Lucie who is growing up and refusing to fit the mold of the upper class women. Her soul mate and
childhood friend, Eccu, has been fiercely in love with the wild and eccentric Lucie since the age of
17. However, the only one who can set Lucie’s heart on fire is Allu, a younger working class hero,
football genius and the son of a Red rebel.
Spanning decades, the story shows how time, place and social class unite people – and set
them apart.

Canned Dreams is a fi lm about workers and their dreams on the journey of a canned food product.
In our fi lm, we build a portrait of ordinary workers through their own, personal stories from
multiple cultures. We hear them telling about the most important moments in their life, and the
dreams that would make their own world a better place. All this happens in a frame of following the route of a tin can which starts it’s journey from the other side of the world and travels all
across Europe. In this fi lm the beauty of humanity is seen through working hands.
Katja Gauriloff
Katja Gauriloff was born in 1972 in Inari. She has
studied fi lmmaking at the Tampere University of
Applied Sciences, School of Art and Media

“I have four dogs, two donkeys and a wife in Paris and I need help with the household”, theater
producer Lars Schmidt said to young Paavo Turtiainen at Helsinki airport in 1970. The wife was
the actress Ingrid Bergman.
Finnish farm boy Paavo Turtiainen is hired into the Parisian household of Swedish theatre
producer Lars Schmidt and his wife, Ingrid Bergman. The couple “adopt” and train Paavo to
navigate the rich and famous. Encouraged by Schmidt, Paavo moves to New York and becomes
an acclaimed chef and event planner for high society. Along the way, Paavo learns to stand on his
own feet.
In the fi lm Ingrid Bergman’s daughters, Isabella Rossellini and Pia Lindström, talk about their
“brother” and Lars Schmidt’s son Kristian describes how it was growing up with the ever present
Paavo.

A romantic documentary about love in a foreign city. Four Bulgarian emigrants in Helsinki; disillusioned with love, they decide to give themselves a task. In 12 months, they need to find girlfriends in Helsinki. The men start a well-organized self-development and women hunting process.
Internet dates, sport dates, courses in dancing etc.
Still, love is always full of surprises. The past – especially ex-wives and ex-girlfriends – won’t
leave the men in peace. And the present is also full of surprises especially while you’re on your
way to a friend’s wedding: Why don’t all women put their photos on the dating sites of the Internet? Is sex a cure for solitude? And can anyone anywhere really get to know another person in 12
months?

The Midnight Sun Film Festival – a strange and celebrated fi lm festival in an unlikely place, far
north in Lapland. The cinema dialogue of all time: the twentieth century as told by great fi lm
makers. The birth stories of fi lms reveal histories lived, stories from childhood and the early
years “before I became a filmmaker”. The special strength of the film is the dialogue of the most
notable persons of the East and the West that grows out of the material, an encounter that conveys the starkly different working conditions, and yet the determination over the necessity of the
shared human themes and challenges. Great movies are born out of innumerable origins. The
complete Sodankylä Forever series consists as well of three one-hour features with themes of
light, time, and the experience of the first fi lms of our lives.

Steam of Life
[
M i e s t e n
v u o r o
]
Naked Finnish men in saunas speak straight from the heart and in the warmth of rusty stoves
cleanse themselves both physically and mentally towards the fi lm’s deeply emotional and unforgettable finale.
The fi lm travels through Finland joining men of all walks of life in many different saunas
to let us hear their touching stories about love, death, birth and friendship; about life. In all its
simplicity the camera records the raw and rare beauty of landscapes, saunas and men in almost
magical pictures. The presence of the characters and the depth of their emotion reaches a limit
where it is almost intolerable for the viewer to watch. Steam of Life reveals the men’s naked souls
in an exceptionally intimate and poetic way.

is a documentary scripted and directed by Elina Kivihalme. It depicts the reality of Finnish agriculture and forestry during the war years, when the home front relied entirely
upon the work and endurance of women. All farm work, caring for the children, woodcutting and
other forestry operations were undertaken by the civilians, as the men in their prime were on the
front.
The war effort of the rural women has until now not been portrayed in a knowledgeable fi lm
with emotional impact. The subject touches all modern-day Finns whether they live rurally or in
towns. This is a matter of Finnish spiritual and financial inheritance, and familiarity with it is of
the greatest importance. A nation that doesn’t know its history cannot understand its present, let
alone look into the future. Although the war as a topic has been dealt with, the important part
women played in agriculture and forestry, while remaining the backbone of Finnish society during the war has not been explored.
