This dynamic and entertaining film tells the story of the popular Finnish rock band Hurriganes, or, more accurately, its singer/drummer Remu Aaltonen. He grew up into a life of petty crime, and music was his only way out of the rut. The excellent Eero Milonoff plays him as an endlessly energetic and driven leader of the band. The actors play the instruments for real, which gives the film some added grit and authenticity.
