Director's word
Finn-crime is Finland´s answer to the Scandinavian crime boom success.
Reijo Mäki´s Vares are stories about a detective in living in the port city of Turku. Mäki´s noirish world has its fictional universe strongly rooted in Finnish society: its archetypes and characteristics - but with a unexpeced and dark twist. Always focusing on the exciting plot, the fast moving story and his twisted humor, Mäki ́s characters are filled with a fabulous human complexity that promises highly memorable film performances.
