In the last century, Rööperi (also the film’s original title) was a social hot spot within Helsinki. Based on the book “Rööperi: The Years of Crime 1955 – 2005” by Harri Nykanen and Tom Sjoberg, the film tells of the rise and fall of three criminals from 1966 to 1979. A box office hit in Finland, the film isano-nonsense homage to the major gangster films and is full of action and strong images.
