The Kidnapping of a President

Finland, Czechia, Netherlands, Estonia

In 1930s Finland, a group of far-right officers order the kidnapping of the former president during a night of heavy drinking - only to forget about it entirely the next morning. Meanwhile, the plan is already in motion, carried out by a group of eager but hopelessly incompetent young men. As the situation spirals beyond anyone’s control, the president’s wife unexpectedly confronts the kidnappers, setting off a chain of events no one has anticipated.
