Elsa Keslassy International CorrespondentCharades (“Petrov’s Flu,””Diamantino”) has come on board “Hit Big”, a dark humor-laced crime film set in Spain and directed by critically acclaimed Finnish filmmaker, Jukka-Pekka Valkeapaa (“They Have Escaped”).
Currently in post, the film is being presented at the work-in-progress sidebar of Goteborg Festival’s Nordic Film Market. On the ground in Goteborg is Daniel Kuitunen, who is producing the movie through his Helsinki-based banner Komeetta. “Hit Big” revolves around Marjaleena, a 60 year-old boozed-up former beauty pageant who left Finland for Spain’s Costa del Sol where she runs Bar Belle, once a popular spot of Finnish tourists, with her handyman Mikko.
One day, they hear that Marjaleena’s husband, Worm, will be released after twenty years in prison and is planning a dream life with his cell-mate lover thanks to the stashed proceeds of a major heist.
Feeling betrayed, Marjaleena sets off to get her share of the millions. The colorful cast is headlined by Johannes Holopainen (“Heavy Trip”), Outi Mäenpää (“Beyond”), Ilkka Heiskanen (“Hiljaisuus”), and Pääru Oja, who was named a EFP Shooting Star at the Berlinale in 2020, among others. “Hit Big” will mark Valkeapaa’s follow up to “Dogs Don’t Wear Pants” which world premiered at Cannes’ Directors Fortnight in 2019.
