The Saimaa Phenomenon, directed by Aki and Mika Kaurismäki, is a foundational work of Finnish rock cinema.
The film, completed in 1981, tells the story of the summer tour of Finnish rock legends Juice Leskinen Slam, Hassinen Kone and Eppu Normaal on the Heinävesi ship.
Numerous concert recordings are complemented by moments on the lake at night, music making and personal interviews, in which Juice Leskinen, Ismo Alanko and Martti and Pantse Syrjä share small-life wisdoms. Overall, the atmosphere is hilarious and we live in a time when fun was more important than business in rock.
The film features hits from that era such as Syksyn Sävel, Viidestoista Yö, Rappiolla, Puhtoinen lahiöni and many other songs that have become Finnish rock classics.
The Saimaa Phenomenon tour ends with a grandiose performance of the song "Maamme" on the summer festival stage, which is filled with a huge dose of emotion and patriotism. You are only young once.
