Plainlands

Based on a novel of the same name by the Finnish author Antti Tuuri this delicious late80s comedy builds its dark humour on the stereotypical mentality of the northern part of Finland While perhaps not as entertaining to a person unfamiliar with Finnish traditions the brilliant acting directing plus the warm beautiful Finnish summer more than make up for the cultural gapThe story begins with a group of brothers with their families coming up to honour the memory of their recently deceased father Spending time together opening old wounds and creating new ones it all boils down to brotherhood No matter what happens brothers take care of their own
