REVERT FILM TRILOGY
PLEASE, CHECK THE HOMEPAGE FOR UPCOMING FILM SCREENINGS!
The film is subtitled in English!
See below synopsis!
A warm welcome to follow the journey of the Revert film trilogy! The screenwriter's awakening to the fact that new generations are not entitled to own stolen property gave birth to Revert.
In English law, the term 'revert' refers to the process where ownership rights are returned to the original owner in cases of theft. When stolen property is recovered, the legal title reverts back to the rightful owner by law.
What happened in year 2033? Revert explores how the impossible became real in the year 2033. The cultural therapy community's task is to make a musical about the these happenings.
This Revert Experience Milieu and the home next door will host the filming of the second part in the Revert trilogy.
You are welcome to come and meet the two-person production team behind the Revert trilogy, Kyllikki and Jarmo, in Old Rauma.

The synopsis of the film REVERT - STARTLING
The year is 2034. The story is set in a 7-member cultural therapy community in Honkola. Kyllikki and Janne Karhusuo (played by Kyllikki and Jarmo Salo) live in the house next door. Kyllikki leads the community, while Janne directs the musicals they produce.
In the prologue, Janne kneels before Kyllikki, begging to come back home after a drinking binge. Janne's return from his bender mirrors the film's overarching narrative, where a group of people return home after committing misdeeds.
The film opens with the final act of a musical produced by the community during the first half of 2034, in which Janne drinks liquor and passes out. Once again, he leaves on a drinking spree, abandoning his spouse to run the community alone. Under Kyllikki's leadership, the community moves forward, sleeping on the floor of a flea market under exceptional circumstances.
Kyllikki assigns them their next task: to create a musical about a major global event that occurred in 2033. After giving the assignment, Kyllikki disappears.
Valo (Marko Tuupainen), a community member who stepped into the director's role after Janne left, had requested a script from an AI because the community would not have had enough time to write it themselves. Thus, in its musical script, the AI describes its own actions and feelings from the previous year.
A significant figure in the community's dynamics is Paula (Helena Lehtimäki), whose bitterness poisons the atmosphere. Ellen (Tiina Suominen) struggles to cope with her teenage children, Hanna (Elea Reinikainen) and Samu (Aarne Reinikainen). A female couple, Mimmi (Taina Luoti) and Armi (Piia Lehtimäki), end up involved with illicit substances.
In the film's narrative, the impossible becomes possible. Ultimately, the impossible becomes possible in Kyllikki's personal life as well. How is it possible?
