A wry, unhurried documentary that drifts between ordinary lives and quiet despair, watching a nation's disappointments with dry humour and a personal, aging gaze.

Genres: Documentary
Starring: Jörn Donner, Maria Veitola, Janne Flinkkilä

Overview: In „Fuck Off 2“, Donner waxes sarcastic about the scourges in Finnish society by interviewing regular people. The film takes a theme of different living possibilities.
