| Summary |
While Eurovision captivated the world's attention earlier this year, there was one act in particular who captured the hearts of viewers at home - Finnish punk-rock band Pertti Kurikan nimipaivat. Formed in 2009 by four developmentally disabled guys, the documentary film follows the band's journey from their rehearsal room to cult success - which took them all the way to the world stage at the 2015 Eurovision Song Contest in Vienna.The film goes behind-the-scenes as they go to festivals, release their first album, appear in the media, tour Europe, discover fame, as well as lifting the lid on their close relationships as they laugh, cry and fight with one another.Loyal to true punk tradition, the band plays loud and harshly, and their lyrics are critical of the surrounding reality: poverty, housing problems, intoxicants and the attitudes towards disabled are brutally slung to the listener's face.This is what real punk is all about: misfits screaming their lungs out about real problems.
