Storyline

Towards the end of the 1920s the Finnish goverment introduced a twelve year long ban on alcohol. This resulted in very lively and profitable spirit smuggling from Estonia to Finland. This was risky business, where human life was of little worth. Tulivesi is a film set in this time. Eerik, a young man, does his best to make money out from the Finnish ban on spirits. His dream is to buy a boat with the money he makes. He is confronted by the honest Aleks, the new head of customs at the border checkpoint. Aleks is deadly serious about stopping the spirit smuggling. Written by Anonymous

Flawed but emotional
8 December 2020 | by koerajuppSee all my reviews

The main characters are quite likeable even though they are rather simple. Dialogue is really wacky but otherways acting is great. Good atmosphere and corgeos cinematography. The plot is good enough and the ending is really emotional. It made me feel something and that's enough for me.
