New Showbiz Analysis

This social satire prioritizes a critique of institutional corruption and economic opportunism over identity-based representation. The film functions as a cynical deconstruction of the 'promise of progress' and the instability of traditional economic hierarchies. While the film lacks demographic breadth, it succeeds in its satirical aim, exposing how local authority figures are vulnerable to the rhetoric of modernization and industrial growth. Ultimately, the work is a period-specific study of greed and the fragility of trust within a specific Finnish municipal context.

Official Synopsis

Matti Hunttala is a businessman who buys, sells, exchanges, and steals—whatever best suits his plans. The men of Hukansalmi municipality do not suspect Hunttala's grand promises. Business representative Koistinen, municipal manager Kiiskinen, and bank manager Ruotsalainen believe they have met someone who can boost the municipality's poor economy and factory projects. Hunttala buys Hukanharju from the municipality for free, promising to build factories there to create jobs for the municipality, but Hunttala sells the ridge to the gravel magnate and flees Hukansalmi himself.
