Presidentintekijät

Presidentintekijät (The President Makers) is a film about Sauli Niinistö’s presidential campaign. It portrays the core of the campaign team and its operations throughout the campaign until Niinistö is elected as the President of the Republic.

The team works under immense pressure. Decisions must be made constantly. Success is immediately measured in the media and polls. The task is not made easier by the fact that the candidate himself does not participate in the team’s activities or even really support it.

The film progresses from the first campaign team meeting towards the second round of the election. The team’s discussions are surprisingly open and bold. The language they use is direct and unvarnished. Director Tuukka Temonen’s access to the heart of the campaign is unique. Presidentintekijät is a film about politics at its rawest. When time is short, communication is direct. And sometimes, you just have to laugh.

The film depicts the work centered around the Secretary-General of the National Coalition Party, Taru Tujunen, Marketing Director Kirsi Piha, Niinistö’s Special Assistant Mikko Kortelainen, Fundraising Director Hjallis Harkimo, Political Advisor Jussi Kekkonen, and Jenni Haukio, who was responsible for marketing and communications at the beginning of the campaign.

Hungry for success, risks, faith warriors, and a billion-euro business idea.

Director Tuukka Temonen’s second feature drama film opens up a world to the viewer where money brings power, women are beautiful, and friendship is for sale. The film also tells the story of a little boy abandoned by his father, who runs through his life seeking success, attention, and his own manhood.

The story of the film spans five decades and, among other things, revives the legendary TV show “Hyvät, pahat ja rumat” (“The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly”).

The protagonist is a Finnish entrepreneur who gets excited, takes action, and gets hit, both in his own company and in the public eye. He grows his bank account as a business coach – sometimes with questionable methods. Success does not always bring happiness, and money alone may not fill the voids in life.
