Defiant is the story of 17-year-old Vilma, a child protective services client who ends up in a boarding school and rebels against the violent staff and a system that has forgotten the child’s best interests. The film is based on real events in 2010s Finland, where children labeled as hopeless cases are confined to institutions even stricter than prisons, where they don’t receive the psychiatric services they need, and sometimes not even the legally required basic education. Despite its heavy subject matter, Defiant is also a hopeful coming-of-age story of a teenage girl and a warm portrayal of friendship among young people.

Two middle-aged sisters, Taina and Pirkko are famous sahti-makers from Sysmä. Sahti is a strong beer made today the same way as 500 years ago. The third sister, Päivi is getting married, and she asks her sisters if they could make 100 litres of sahti for the wedding. Unfortunately, it’s too good, not to drink it. The sisters wake up in a horrible hungover the day before the wedding and realize they have drunk it all. They have only 24 hours to find 100 litres of good sahti. They both need to face the fact that they might like a bit too much of their own product, and it’s not the only thing they need to face.
