Original subtitles

-Sari! Come help me! -Yeah?

Where do you have the oatmeal heating pad?

-Sari! -Yeah, coming!

-I'll come soon. Don't go anywhere. -Yeah.

How are you?

My feet are damn swollen, but other than that, I'm good.

Let me see.

You're in pain.

No, I'm not. Just uncomfortable.

-You're in pain. -It's nothing compared to betrayal.

Chresus Jist, Tiina.

Sari.

Could you be my support person when I give birth?

Olavi was supposed to be, and Tipi was supposed to be a backup,

but I can't stand her because she was right.

About you and Olavi.

Of course I can be.

And...sorry.

Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry once more.

Massage one toe at a time.

Art. Where does it come from?

An artist gets an idea, and things move forward smoothly, right?

We all know the truth might be a bit different.

'Empty Spaces on the Edge of Nothingness'.

This project was like a bright, perfect shooting star.

No searching, no hesitating, no difficulties.

We came together...

And boom!

There it was. Thank you.

There's someone I'd like to thank especially.

This person has always been there for me,

in good times and bad times.

Our relationship hasn't always been easy,

but it doesn't have to be.

Dad. My hero.

Thank you for life. Thank you for art.

-Hey. Wake up. -You took long.

Tiina's feet hurt.

-Come cuddle me. -No cuddling. Cock!

Let me sleep a moment.

No, no. It doesn't work like that.

Get out.

Yeah.

Chop-chop. Be quiet so Tiina doesn't wake up.

Okay, later.

Please look this way.

-What's up? -I'm pissed.

-Why? -It didn't go like that.

Lucas's film was no bright shooting star.

He was falling apart during the shoot, and I patched him up.

Where are my thanks?

He's an artist, and he just told a certain story about himself.

He's writing his story.

I mean, our crew won 12 Jussi Awards

with my film 'Frost of the Fatherland'.

The producer ended up in a mental hospital.

The lighting technicians in rehab. Families broke.

Animals were hurt. Women were groped.

It's a lousy story. No one's interested in that.

But we pulled through it all.

And the outcome is a story that lives on.

But the main actor never acted again.

Well, no.

The only thing the women in the film say is,

'Pentti, where are you going?'

It's a film about great men.

Big men!

'Frost of the Fatherland' is a classic.

-Ask anybody here. -I'll ask.

I'll ask anybody here.

Ismo, where are you going?

F**k.

Do you know 'Frost of the Fatherland'?

She didn't know!

'Frost of the Fatherland'. Fatherland my a**, I say!

Linnea.

Linnea, wait.

I sense a bit of aggression between us.

You sensed it right.

Okay. What have I done?

You didn't even mention me. You only thanked Dad.

Linnea, why do you think the journalists are here?

Because of my thesis film? No.

They're here because of Dad.

If I want someone to mention my film, I have to use all means possible.

So this is just about image and illusion for you?

That's what the film industry is about.

Image, illusion, publicity stunts.

Take it or leave it.

Let's get the party started!

Our films are selling okay.

A couple of hundred purchases per week, but it's not enough.

I owe money to Jaska and the tax authority.

Keke wants an indexation for his salary.

We have to come up with something to take this to a whole new level.

That's right.

Yes, I did porn for 20 years.

Yes. Yes.

No. Yes.

Linnea Solakallio. Ismo Solakallio's daughter.

-Director Ismo Solakallio's. -'Frost of the Fatherland'.

'Rust of the Fairyland'.

-'Frost of the Fatherland'. -'Frost of the Fatherland'.

An amazing film.

Okay. I thought you'd be interested because...

Sure.

All right. Bye!

That was easy.

We were invited to a TV show called 'Culture Bubbles'.

Yikes. All my relatives watch the show!

No way! Wow!

-Anybody can watch the show. -Wow!

I wonder if Olavi watches it.

Hello. I'm Elina Vattulainen.

All right.

We're here to discuss the custody of Onni Nieminen.

This is a preliminary hearing before the district court decision.

Olavi, what makes you think

sole custody of Onni would be better in your situation?

In my opinion, Sari can't offer the right kind of environment for Onni,

who's going to be a teenager soon.

The reason being...

Sari's life is irregular.

She makes porn videos. She's constantly out of money.

Sari, what do you say to this?

Yes,

I have a company

that produces adult entertainment for women. So what?

Your opinion on Olavi as a father?

Olavi is a good father.

And I'm a good mother.

And I will never, ever give up Onni.

Olavi, is it possible for you to reach an agreement

and continue joint custody?

No.

In that case, the process will move forward.

I'll go get instructions on how to prepare for district court.

Do you really want a home inspection

and our homes to be turned upside down

and someone telling Onni to choose between living at his mum's or dad's?

No, I don't want that.

You're not a bad person because of your past.

I don't want Onni to be bullied.

(60 minutes and we'll be live.)

Do you want snazzy daytime makeup? Boss lady makeup.

It'll send the message you can be taken seriously.

I think I'll send that message just being me.

Yes. Boss lady makeup it is.

Feminist...Feminist porn.

Feminist...Feminist eroticism.

Feminist adult entertainment.

It'll go well.

The show only has, like, 300,000 viewers,

and none of them are people you know, as it's about culture.

-Where are you hurting? -Nowhere.

My belly is like a hard ball,

and I have pain resembling menstrual cramps.

-You're having contractions. -Stop making a fuss.

-You're in labour. -No, I'm not.

-Yes, you are. -I just have a pinching feeling.

-You're in labour! -No, I'm not!

-Get going. You're gonna be late. -I'm not leaving you.

Linnea.

Sorry.

Hi. Where are you?

-Tiina's in labour. -(No...I can't do this alone.)

(They said there's going to be some nice third guest!)

This way, please.

Yes, there is.

-(Raita just showed up.) -Oh, f**kety f**k!

-(I'll try to make it somehow.) -Okay.

-Where's your bag? I'll call a taxi. -I don't know.

Women's Hospital, please.

-Is someone giving birth? -She is.

Sorry, I don't drive women giving birth.

-What? -I did once, and the upholstery...

You can't do this!

You can't imagine the stuff that comes out of women.

When it dries, it's like paste.

I can't start scrubbing my seats with an eraser sponge!

-Go to hell! -What?

-Where is he going? -You go to hell!

-Sari. -Want to save a pregnant woman?

-Yes. Of course. -Good. Let's go.

Sari. How far along are you?

-It's Tiina. She's 9... -Months pregnant.

Is Sari coming?

Or are you representing your company alone?

Vivu, Vevu, Vavu...What's the name?

-Viva Venus. -That's it.

Terrible name. I mean, terribly difficult to remember.

So, Sari abandoned you here.

She's going through a difficult time.

You don't have to defend her. I know her.

She's unreliable and unstable.

Hey! Tiina's in labour.

Olavi's wife is in labour.

Sari took her in. Think about that.

After all the s**t with Olavi,

and then there's the custody battle over Onni.

Custody?

I had the umbilical cord wrapped around my neck,

so they had to do it differently.

Good job, Tiina.

Soon you can...

-I can get on the bed! -Yes, yes!

Hold my hand.

-Let's check you. -Just breathe.

Jaska, you saved us.

-5 centimeters dilated. -Wow!

Is that wide enough for the baby?

-You can start with laughing gas. -Lovely.

-I'll be back. -Nice.

Good job!

Sofia said hi.

Oh. Well, thank you.

What?

Time to go into the studio.

-Have you heard of Sari Nieminen? -No.

Okay. Let's go.

10, 9, 8, 7, 6...

Welcome to 'Culture Bubbles'.

Today we'll be discussing something that many of us are familiar with

but don't dare to discuss, that is, adult entertainment.

What kind of porn is there?

Who makes it for us?

Welcome to the show, Raita Paju, Xcapade Finland's CEO and owner.

Men are heavy users of porn, and it's a well-known fact

that it's hard to sell them anything with the word 'feminist' attached.

Sarppa, you have to go.

-What? -To the TV studio.

-Jaska will stay with me. -I can't...

-I can watch you on TV. -I can't leave you.

Come here and take a hit.

Sari, go.

Raita, how do you see your company's films?

We shouldn't underestimate our audience.

So, you're actually saying it doesn't have any effect on people

if a man climaxes over and over again on a woman's face?

Or if there's something worse, violence or revenge porn.

I've produced hundreds of films, with a variety of content.

Crap to fulfill men's fantasies. Total bulls**t.

-(We have an audience. Do you?) -(Yes, we do!)

-(How many orders do you have?) -Enough!

At least every one of our films has a meaning...

The debate is intense, and we'll continue it shortly.

After a short break...

Nicely done.

F**k.

Linnea.

Sari. Thank God. Thank you for coming.

That goblin told me Sofia said hi, and I totally lost my focus.

I'm afraid she knows about her and me.

Hey. We'll take care of this together.

Okay.

Okay, let's go.

Thanks.

Nice you could make it.

I heard about your custody battle. Sad.

Olavi was wise when he switched careers.

It would be terrible to lose Onni because of your choices.

All right, let's go on the talk show and talk some.

Welcome back to the studio.

Sari Nieminen has joined us.

She's the owner and CEO of Viva Venus Films.

You also have a long career in adult entertainment.

Yes.

Why did you start Viva Venus Films?

When you're a porn... adult entertainer,

you're no longer wanted...

I mean...

It's difficult to switch careers, find other type of work.

So, Viva Venus Films exists because you couldn't find a job.

Yes, I...

I...

I'm sorry, I...

I've been through a lot lately.

My child's father is ashamed of his porn career and me,

(and that's why he wants custody of our son.)

Olavi, you're a f**king idiot.

(Raita gave me a hard time about it before I stepped into the studio.)

Didn't you? Raita, you sly old fox.

Let's go back to Viva Venus Films' story.

(Yes, we make films for all kinds of people,)

(and it's really important.)

(Why is it so important?)

Because we're here to live and enjoy.

Because people, regardless of their appearance,

have the right to enjoy.

So, Sari, first you make money looking like a porn star,

and when it no longer works,

you start celebrating all kinds of bodies.

Yes. That's exactly what I'm doing.

And there's nothing you can do about it.

I'm interested in one more thing.

How do you comment

on Linnea, a director of feminist and ethical porn,

having sex with a person who performed in your film?

(For f**k's sake, Raita. What the hell...)

(Yes, that's what I did.)

(It was consensual sex between 2 adults,)

during which I actually had an incredible orgasm.

(And I refuse to be ashamed of it. Thank you.)

(We're tired of being ashamed of everything.)

Hi, everyone out there.

(I'm Sari Nieminen, and I'm a former porn star,)

(and I'm a mother.)

(And I think I'm also a f**king feminist. Try to live with that.)

We'll wrap it up after an eventful evening.

Sari. You'll hear from me.

Feminist cows like you won't destroy my monopoly.

On next week's show,

we'll ask if modern literature is only autofiction.

F**k.

Hi, Juliet.

You mean like from 'Romeo and Juliet'?

That's right. Come down.

It's a terrible story. Everyone dies.

You've been coming here for 6 months to f**k me.

-I like f**king you. I like you. -Likewise.

-Want to be exclusive? -Sure.

-Onni! -Yeah?

Can you give Nuppu milk?

Your dad and Tiina will be home from therapy soon.

-Pack your backpack. -Yeah, yeah.

-It'd be nice to have one of those. -What?

A baby.

We could put a baby swing and a sandbox in the yard.

Think about how cute it would look.

Yeah.

All right. Linnea. We know you.

I saw you on TV and heard you've started directing.

That's great.

I'm actually here just to give you a hard time.

I've directed films.

Maybe not the kind you teach here, but films nonetheless.

I've made mistakes. I've done a lot of things wrong.

A director has to bring out the best in others.

And I learnt that I'm really good at it.

So, here I am.

Take me or f**king leave me.

Bye.

Let's celebrate.

Our latest film brought in over 90,000 new viewers,

and I just paid Jaska the last bit of my debt.

-This is so cool. -Yes, it is.

I got into film school.

Oh.

Wow.

-Congratulations. -Thank you.

-But I decided that I'm not going. -What?

You see, I'm good at this.

At what we're doing.

Yes, you are.

How many people got into the film school?

-2. -How many applied?

120.

How many times did you apply?

5.

Linnea,

you're fired.

What?

I'm firing you.

-You can't do that. -Yes, I can. This is my company.

But you can't do this without me.

Of course I can.

As you can direct without me.

Surprise!

Congratulations, honey! You did it.

I'm so proud of you. Oh, Linnea.

Good job, Linnea.

Oh, my Gaia.

I have to tell you that I love your films.

-Oh. -They blow my mind.

I've learnt a lot about myself and sexuality in general from them.

So, thank you.

You're welcome.

Directing erotic films is a great foundation

for building a proper film director's career.

I'm sure.

-Aren't you going to direct... -More porn? No.

In our family, we go to a proper film school

and start working as real film directors.

Oh. Huh.

-Hi. -Hi.

I'm director Inka Metsala. We spoke on the phone.

Right. Sari Nieminen.

Come in.

Take a seat.

Sorry, you remind me of an old friend.

So, why do you want to direct feminist porn?

First of all, your work is revolutionary.

I feel I have a lot to give in your next phase.

I take a stance, and I have views.

I've been told I'm emotionally intelligent and sensitive.

I also know how to work the camera, and I write...

It would be great to work with you.

Excuse me?

Can you repeat? Everything.
