The Tough Ones
1999, Finnish. Directed by Aleksi Mäkelä.
Three young men rob a bank. Only two of them are caught. What will happen when they return to their home town?
The Tough Ones tells a story of two friends who have a hard time finding their place in the society. Antti and Jussi are released from jail. While they were doing time for bank robbery, the third man involved in the robbery, the one who was not convicted, has become a policeman. He tries to help his friends to settle into the small town in Pohjanmaa, but the boys start a black market liquor business instead. The road seems to lead back to the jail.
