Synopsis:

Finnish filmmaker Aleksi Makela directs the Dogme-influenced downbeat drama Bad Boys - A True Story, inspired by a group of actual brothers who turn to a life of crime. Eero (Jasper Paakkonen), Ilkka (Lauri Nurkse), Otto (Peter Franzen), and Matti (Niko Saarela) are four brothers who are ostracized from the rest of the community. Their only guardian is an abusive schizophrenic father (Vesa-Matti Loiri) who lives in a mental hospital. When they get tired of being outcasts, they start committing robberies. Bad Boys - A True Story was screened at the 2003 Cannes Film Festival.

The story bases on four Finnish brothers, nicknamed 'the Eura Daltons' who received nation-wide notoriety for tearing gas pumps apart when they needed cash. The cast is an impressive one: the brothers are portrayed by Peter Franzen, Lauri Nurkse, Niko Saarela and Jasper Pääkkönen while their really evil father is played by Vesa-Matti Loiri, one of the grand old men of Finnish cinema.

A story of brothers who had no choice.
