SCA25 100 Litres of Gold

A box office hit in Finland, this summery black comedy is a tribute to the countryside provinces and to the traditional Finnish brew sahti, the liquid gold of Finland. Enjoyed at Midsummer, Christmas, weddings, funerals and parties, the drink has a legendary reputation. In a small village in southern Finland, middle-aged sisters Taina (Pirjo Lonka) and Pirkko (Elina Knihtilä) have promised to spend weeks making 100 litres of their famous, strong self-brewed beer, sahti, for their sister’s wedding. But their batch is so tasty, they cannot help but drink it all themselves! Struggling with massive hangovers and with only two days until the wedding, they have a series of hilarious misadventures racing against the clock to procure another 100 litres and save the wedding, or else they will lose their reputation as the best sahti-brewers in the village. Written and directed by prolific Finnish director Teemu Nikki (Death is a Problem for the Living) 100 Litres of Gold is an entertaining adventure and tale of beer, community and local pride.
