But that is all about to change – or is it?

The documentary film Like Father Like Son is a portrait to a relationship of a father and a son where their small home is the epicenter of everything. Their home is a place where they fix their moped as well as brush their teeth. The protagonists’ relationship shifts between seeking for closeness, understanding and acceptance as the 16-year-old son steps closer to adolescence and adulthood. The yearning for a close one varies throughout the film, but it is still present in every moment and places the protagonists in dramatic situations.

Bona Fide, a true crime documentary series, tells the improbable story of Jouni Ranta and Veli Seppä, a card cheat turned art dealer and a welder with a God-given gift for painting. With Veli’s talent and Jouni’s knack for selling the two begin unloading forgeries to the booming art markets – a venture that lasts for three decades. Veli’s forgeries of Finnish masterpieces are so good that even the best experts of art museums and galleries are not able to call them out.
