Suomalaiset ensi-iltaelokuvat 1970-

Young photography model Susanna and her alienated teenage brother Veli spend the summer of 1969 travelling around Finland, mostly with another girl and her boyfriend. Sporting the latest fashions and trendy hairdos, they naïvely observe and criticise the modern consumer society, advertising, fancy boats and summer cottages, country dances, barbecues, and any other phenomena that were supposed to bother angry young intellectuals in those days. The plot and the political agenda are delivered with a cheerful, tongue-in-cheek mixture of documentary observations, fake TV commercials, fake interviews, philosophical voiceovers and titles, and a jazzy soundtrack by the progressive rock group Wigwam.

Finnish porn-movie producer Pertsa returns from America to his home country to continue his profession with hopelessly-small budgets and incompetent casts and crews. A self-ironic satire about director Donner's scandalous fame in late-1960s Finland, notorious for a graphic long shot of his penis pointing northeast.

Lonely rider Speedy Gonzales (Spede Pasanen) arrives to small town of New York to revenge the murder of his brother. Who shot Moses Gonzales? Was it the dishonest sheriff (Leo Jokela), mysterious Bat Masterson (Ville-Veikko Salminen), ladies' man tsai-jai-jai-Manolito (Esko Salminen) or maybe bank robber Clyde (Pertti Melasniemi). Slowest shooter of Häme (Simo Salminen) it hardly could have been.

June 1944. The attention of the world is focused on Normandy, but the change of the tide can be felt in Finland also. Rumours of preparations of a massive Soviet attack in the Karelian region are heard everywhere. In the Finnish HQ many officers know the attack is coming, but Marshal Mannerheim is not even informed of the most frightening news. The old marshal is turning 77, but the Soviet Union has an unpleasant gift for him. The army is not all prepared, but who is guilty, and to whom belongs the honor?

Teenager Erik returns from Paris to Finland in a rowboat and is accosted by a gang of youths in the countryside. He walks to Helsinki, returns to his parents' home and his old high school filled with angry radical teens who, typically for the era, consider the teacher-imposed discipline as another form of capitalist imperialism. Almost reluctantly Erik drifts together with Annika, a girl from a wealthy family, and starts experimenting with sex and marijuana. In the same nonchalant manner Erik gets involved in demonstrations and school politics which escalate into a violent school strike leading to police intervention and heavy sanctions. The dramatic plot is frequently interrupted by absurd comic relief.

A former Red Rebellion leader returns home after being imprisoned for his participation in the Finnish Civil War, but soon finds out that wartime mindsets still linger in the heads of people.

Sleazy impostor, then dance-band singer Pertti Ylermi Lindgren merrily re-enacts some of his real-life engagements to 76 different women in the late 1960s.

Blessed with a specific ban on doing any honest work while down there, yet cursed with an inability to enjoy alcohol any longer, the quartet lands in modern-day Finland with a briefcase full of cash. Of course, in only a matter of minutes the guys misplace the briefcase, and after that they are pretty much on their own. However, you can't blame them for running out of ideas too quickly.

Racial tensions arise from a love affair between a Finnish nurse and and a Somali doctor in the late sixties, when African immigrants were very rare in Finland.
