Directed by Juho Kuosmanen • 2017 • Finland
The first Finnish film was made in 1907, but sadly lost forever. So to mark the 100th anniversary year of the Finnish independence, film has now been remade by Juho Kuosmanen (THE HAPPIEST DAY IN THE LIFE OF OLLI MÄKI) following several silent film traditions: shot on B&W 16 mm film and performed with live music and a live foley artist. In the film two siblings inherit all the essentials for a good life: moonshine equipment and a pig. As they embark on their journey, business is good until a card shark arrives.
