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.
