Helsinki-syndrooma

From the producers of Finnish TV series “Bordertown,” this eight-episode drama thriller tells the story of entrepreneur and family man Elias Karo, who takes four journalists hostage to get them to reveal a government coverup that destroyed his family and countless others 30 years ago. In the 90s, a bank manager and a district court judge took his family’s possessions with the Finnish government’s blessing and caused a financially triggered tragedy that still continues today for hundreds of families who find themselves ineligible for any COVID assistance, bankrupting their businesses. Elias hopes that by holding the journalists captive, he can expose the corruption and conspiracy to keep Finland’s working poor from getting ahead.
