"Yes, I was so upset..." – The overwhelming success of a domestic film!
Directed by Dome Karukoski, The Mindstealer is a warm, touching and hilarious comedy based on Tuomas Kyrö's beloved book character. It's a film about Finnish stubbornness, generational divides and how the world changes even if a man stays the same.
When the Mentalist ( Antti Litja ) living in the countryside injures his back, he is forced to go to Helsinki against his will to be with his daughter-in-law and son. Modern city life with its espresso machines, organic food and hustle and bustle is poison for a man who relies only on potatoes, his wife and traditions. But maybe both generations have something to learn from each other after all?
