About The Prodigal Son
Esa is a small time crook who has been precisely released from prison. He starts to make money by mugging people. One day psychiatrist Lindström rings Esa's doorbell. He has a very strange request: he wants Esa to maltreat him. Esa accepts this request, but he is not aware of Lindström's bad intentions.
Directed by Veikko Aaltonen, The Prodigal Son leans on a strong ensemble — Hannu Kivioja, Esko Salminen, Leea Klemola — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1992.
