About The Grump: In Search of an Escort
Grump's life follows the same familiar routines: spring is here and the early potato harvest is ripening. But Grump crashes his beloved Ford Escort and the car has to be scrapped. A new, modern vehicle is no match for quality and the nearest Escort, a 1972 model, can be found in Germany. When the Grumps's sons refuse to help, he must travel to Germany alone.
Directed by Mika Kaurismäki, The Grump: In Search of an Escort leans on a strong ensemble — Heikki Kinnunen, Kari Väänänen, Iikka Forss — 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 comedy titles of 2022.
