One of Finland’s oldest and most prestigious companies, Nokia, is in a precarious financial position by the late 1980s. Despite Chief Financial Officer Jorma Ollila’s best efforts to rein in what he sees as Visionary CEO Kari Kairamo’s reckless acquisition spree, Kairamo continues to charm his way through the business world.
Meanwhile, a brilliant electronics engineer named Risto Salminen is fixated on a competitor’s new mobile phone and is determined to design a more compact and powerful alternative. Katerina Tammi, a young lawyer looking for work, joins the company’s communications hub just as Risto’s project has the attention of the company’s development technologists.
The company is in a precarious position and its top executives are at odds with one another, but exciting opportunities lie ahead. Nothing has been decided yet.
Starring Satu Tuuli Karhu, Emil Kihlstrom, Sampo Sarkela, Aki Sipola, Kristo Salminen, Laura Malmivaara and Juuka Puotila. In Finnish and English with English subtitles.
