This week marks the Finnish premiere of „Perfect Strangers“, a comedy-drama directed by Rike Jokela. Based on Paolo Genovese’s record-breaking hit „Perfetti sconosciuti“ (2016), the story has already been remade in more than 20 countries – and now also in Finland.
The film brings together an all-star cast of Finnish actors, including Laura Birn, Hannu-Pekka Björkman, Pirjo Lonka, Malla Malmivaara, Joonas Saartamo, Pekka Strang, and Jani Volanen.
At the center of the story is a dinner party with friends that takes an unexpected turn when they decide to share every message, call, and notification that appears on their phones – revealing secrets that will change everything.
„Perfect Strangers“ will be in Finnish cinemas from September 19.
Directed by Rike Jokela
Produced by Lucy Loves Drama
Estonian co-production by Menufilmid OÜ
