Homeland, roots in the countryside, studying, trying, overcoming obstacles. A mother, a grandmother, a Member of Parliament, television work, a career, a strong woman in a man’s world. An upbeat attitude towards life, striving for good, believing in good. A powerful Finnish woman – Kyllikki Virolainen. Keys to the Good Life is a portrait of a Finnish influencer, which is shaped by her opinions and personal views on good life. The 15-minute monologue of the worldview of Kyllikki Virolainen is a satirical documentary and a sharp portrait.

Between the Fist and the Stove is a hilarious, fictional film, a melodrama and a tragicomedy based on clips from old Finnish films from the 1940s and 1950s. It is a synthesis of Finland’s Bold and the Beautiful – of a time when the swing of the haystack band made the public wild. Passion, jealousy, lust and forgiveness meet in the surges of the rapids and at the gates of heaven.
