About Born in Heinola
A story of five Finnish youth growing up during the devastating '90s recession. They live in the small timber industrial town of Heinola. As the parents of these young teens struggle through hard economic times, the five very different youths meet by coincidence to form the punk band Apulanta.
Directed by Tuukka Temonen, Born in Heinola leans on a strong ensemble — Tatu Sinisalo, Teppo Manner, Iiro Panula — 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 2016.
