Forbidden Fruit

“Do you remember the first time you did something forbidden?”

Two 18-year-old girls leave their Laestadian community for a summer job in Helsinki, and no one at home knows quite why they went. Raakel (Marjut Maristo) and Maria (Amanda Pilke) meet people their own age whose lives run on rules nothing like the ones they grew up under. Dome Karukoski keeps the camera close to the girls and lets the city arrive through their wary eyes.
