Turvamies
A riotous Finnish comedyNote: No longer in repertoire!
Antti Granqvist, the playboy son of a wealthy industrial dynasty, is preparing for the date of his life when he is unexpectedly confronted by a bodyguard hired by his father. He is not going anywhere: Antti’s family is being blackmailed, their lives are in danger, and Antti has been assigned a personal bodyguard. The result is a clash between two people from completely different worlds.
What happens when freedom-loving hedonist Antti and Mirka, a bodyguard who takes great pride in the job, are forced to spend time together within four walls? Physically, they are close; mentally, they are light years apart.
One of the scourges of our time is the tendency to define everything through simplistic, artificial divisions built on deliberate misunderstandings. Turvamies dismantles this way of thinking, showing that people genuinely need one another. We must dare to bridge even the widest divides.
Turvamies is a comedy that will take audiences by surprise.
