A wedding deadline turns into a race against a hangover in 100 Liters of Gold, a Finnish comedy about two sisters who have to replace an entire batch of homemade ale before anyone notices it's gone.
What is 100 Liters of Gold about?
Taina and Pirkko are well known in their corner of Finland for a farmhouse ale called sahti, brewed the old way and prized by everyone who tastes it. When their sister Päivi is getting married and asks the pair to make a hundred liters of sahti for the wedding, they take the request seriously and produce a full batch. The trouble starts once it's finished: the ale is too good to leave alone, and after one night the sisters wake up with a brutal hangover and the realization that they have drunk every last liter themselves. With the wedding closing in, Taina and Pirkko have twenty-four hours to find a hundred liters of sahti as good as the batch they destroyed, or face their family's judgment at the ceremony.
About the cast
Elina Knihtilä and Pirjo Lonka play sisters Taina and Pirkko, with Ville Tiihonen, Ria Kataja, Jakob Öhrman, Elmer Bäck, Jari Pehkonen, and Pertti Sveholm filling out the small-town cast around them.
Context & significance
Director Teemu Nikki builds the film around sahti itself, a traditional unfiltered Finnish farmhouse ale with centuries of history behind it, using the drink's near-mythical local reputation as the engine for a ticking-clock comedy. Shot as a co-production between Finland, Italy, and Denmark, the film runs a lean 88 minutes, keeping the sisters' countdown tight rather than padding out the premise.
