Boy Upside Down – dir. Juha Lehtola

In this unique Finnish coming-of-age dreamed that’s more comic than tragic, Oliver (Esa Nikkilä) loses his parents in a car accident at the age of eleven. He refuses to mourn and instead, starts investigating the cause of the accident, meeting some very interesting characters along the way, including Joonas (Kari Hietalahti), an alarm system salesman, and two extraordinary older men, Jaakko (Esko Salminen) and Rafu (Sulevi Peltola), who run an old cinema together. Despite the film’s gloomy starting point, it is a warm and positive survival story full of quick twists and turns, and proof that life goes on, even though sometimes the going gets tough. 
Screening Fri, Sept 23rd @ 12pm @ THE REC 11236 N. Highway 3 Ft. Jones
