Georg & Lydia

Georg (age 70) and Lydia (age 30) are in two completely different stages in life when they meet.

Sweet, Sweet Life

Insecure Tiina needs acceptance in a world full of love. She embarks on a journey where she encounters much more than an empty bag of candy.

Grey Wolf

Digging up the memory of the Finnish Civil War in 1918, Grey Wolf tells a historical story with a modern twist. When Viktor Stark, a peaceful writer of the conservative Whites, finds a wounded enemy soldier hiding for his life, Stark’s values and loyalty are measured against each other. Will he choose a higher moral or otherness? The answer is revealed in the final scene that turns the whole world around. Grey Wolf is set in history, but truly, it tells about us.

Pirjo In Sweden

When Pirjo Heikkilä embarrasses herself in public at a charity event, she begins to believe that she needs a change of scenery. Pirjo learns a surprising secret about her family that leads her to Sweden. Pirjo sets off on her journey convinced that her true life awaits her in Stockholm—surrounded by royalty, new friends, and greater human dignity. But the trip turns out to be anything but dignified. She faces one awkward situation after another and an endless need to appear more Swedish than she really is.

Nurses

Like good soldiers in a war-zone, hospital staff are expected to respect the chain of command when dealing with life and death situations. But what happens when smug doctors, arrogant surgeons, and out-of-touch administrators make that easier said than done? Nurses deals with the professional and personal lives of four female colleagues who cope in different ways with the challenges of life on the trauma ward. With determination, strength, and a dark sense of humor, they achieve the demanding and inspiring task of saving lives in a system that sometimes seems designed to do the opposite.

Kakarat

Young couple, graffiti artist Asta and skateboarder Joona are planning to leave their small hometown and move abroad to study and experience the world. Things get complicated when they find out that Asta is pregnant. Is it possible to conquer the world and have a baby at the same time?

Downshifters

A successful thirtysomething couple find themselves at a financial dead end; they are faced with an extreme lifestyle change to pay for their debts. The luxury lifestyle ends when they are forced to move into a rented apartment in the suburbs. But to their friends, they hold up a facade and explain it all with downshifting.
