Synopsis

For all his life, Kalervo has been bad at standing up for himself, until Annukka - a woman who loves him - gives Kalervo a gift that changes everything. As many of Nikki's previous works, All Inclusive may be interpreted in many ways, but ultimately it is about power, love and change.

Program Note

For all his life, Kalervo has been bad at standing up for himself, until Annukka-a woman who loves him-gives Kalervo a gift that changes everything. The story starts from the imagination of ‘the ability to manipulate people’. The film portrays a man who has gained special powers and his secret, dark inner thoughts. Capturing the deviance of an ordinary protagonist, this short film is directed by Teemu Nikki, who made his name known to audiences with his full length film Euthanizer. The film was invited to 2019 Cannes Film Festival, Short Competition. (Gina KANG)
