Road North 2012

Timo is a middle-aged, workaholic concert pianist who does not foresee any changes in life even after his wife left him. He is visited by his long-lost father, Leo who abandoned him and his mother 35 years ago. Completely the opposite, Leo is a lifelong rapscallion barely able to commit to anything. He pleads with Timo to take him to northern Finland and the father and son wind up on a wild ride in a stolen car with one unsettling revelation after another. At the end, the uncomfortable son is able to realise the roots of his stoic life and empathise with his father, a struggle common amongst many of us who strive to break away from the role model and influence of our parents.
