Frozen Land

Frozen Land follows a chain of events set off when a young man uses a counterfeit 500-euro note. The bill passes from hand to hand, and each person it reaches is already struggling: a teacher who has lost his job and turned to drink, a hacker with grand plans and a pregnant girlfriend hoping to marry, a door-to-door vacuum cleaner salesman, a car dealer, and a police officer and mother of three who is investigating the hacker. Their lives intersect as the consequences of the forged money spread outward.

Aku Louhimies directed the Finnish drama, working from a screenplay he wrote with Paavo Westerberg and Jari Rantala. It was his second feature, arriving between Restless and Man Exposed in a filmography that later includes Unknown Soldier and Attack on Finland. Markus Selin produced for Solar Films, and the cast of 89 credited performers is led by Jasper Pääkkönen, Mikko Leppilampi, Pamela Tola, Petteri Summanen, Matleena Kuusniemi and Mikko Kouki. The production had a budget of about one million dollars.

The film runs 133 minutes. On IMDb it holds a rating of 7.4 from roughly 6,800 votes, while on TMDB it has a 6.8 from a much smaller group of 67 votes.
