Selma Vilhunen has wrapped shooting on her new feature, Four Little Adults. The film stars Alma Pöysti (Tove), Eero Milonoff (Border, The Happiest Day In The Life Of Olli Maki), and Oona Airola and Pietu Wikström, who both appear in Sundance and Berlinale 2022 selection Girl Picture.
The first image has also been released featuring Pöysti and Milonoff (see above).
The story is about a woman who discovers her husband is having an affair, and decides to explore polyamory without secrets.
The film shot in Helsinki for 31 days and is being readied for a 2023 launch. Aurora Studios will release in Finland.
Venla Hellstedt and Elli Toivoniemi produce for Tuffi Films and co-producers are Nima Yousefi from Sweden’s Hobab, and Birgit Kemner from France’s Manny Films.
Vilhunen was Oscar-nominated with her short Do I Have To Take Care of Everything? and her previous features are Little Wing, Hobbyhorse Revolution and Stupid Young Heart – the latter won Berlinale’s Crystal Bear in 2019.
Vilhunen said: ”At the heart of our story is human frailty and helplessness in the face of life, no matter how hard one tries to strive towards security and good, right decisions. With this group of actors I dared to dive into the complex emotions of the scenes, surrender to them, and take risks together.”
Four Little Adults was previously presented at Berlinale Co-Production Market 2021.
Backers include The Finnish Film Foundation, YLE, The Swedish Film Institute, SVT, Nordisk Film & TV Fond, Finnish Impact Film Fund and Aurora Studios.
