Synopsis:

The Finnish musical drama "Beauty and the Bastard," is about opposites attracting between a naive well-off young female singer Nelli, (Pamela Tola) and rap DJ Sune (Samuli Vauramo), a promising but uncompromising rap DJ in the offices of a major record company. A woman dulled with praise, Nelli (Pamela Tola), is well on her way to Med-School thanks to her parents, but dreams of a career as a singer. She is desperate to find a demo to show off her talents. Sune is a crude agent who is afraid of women. To show his friends otherwise, he makes a bet that he can get Nelli to sleep with him. His friends don't believe a beauty like her would be even remotely interested in him. But meanwhile Nelli sees an opportunity to get herself a free demo. Playing each other they end up falling in love. This causes troubles for both. The beauty has to learn how to not please everybody and the drifter has to begin considering others in his life and his art.
Sune's friends are unhappy. Nelli's father is not wild about the idea either. Tyttö sinä olet tähti is modern picture of Finnish youth at the brink of adulthood. It tells of love, dreams and principles - as well as how everything often turns out the other way you expect.

An aspiring singer and a dejected DJ find their tenuous relationship may benefit them both if they can look past their creative aspirations far enough to realize the human component to their dilemma in a coming-of-age romantic comedy directed by Finnish filmmaker Dome Karukoski. Nelli's parents want her get a solid education and attend medical school, but the young singer has other ideas about what to do with her future. Convinced that if she could just record a demo the record company executives would recognize her talents, Nelli enlists the aid of local DJ Sune in getting her track down on tape. Sune isn't too smooth with the ladies, though, and after making a bet with his friends that he can bed Nelli, the desperate pair soon discovers that in order to get a little, they have to give a little as well. Though their arrangement initially works out so well that Nelli and Sune begin to discover a genuine affection for one and other, Nelli's jealous boyfriend isn't so enthusiastic about the current state of affairs.
