Film rights sold to Miki Liukkonen’s works O and LIFE: A PROLOGUE!

The film rights to Miki Liukkonen’s works O (O, WSOY 2017) and LIFE: A PROLOGUE (Elämä: Esipuhe, WSOY 2021) have been acquired by Inland Film Company! The novels are among the most significant works of contemporary Finnish literature. The film, directed by Maria Ruotsala, will be based on both books.

” […] The film combines different genres, absurd human moments, stunning images and worlds that challenge realism – just like Miki’s books. [Ruotsala] has carefully selected the most interesting characters, themes and topics from the books and uses them to build an independent cinematic reality. This will be our most important production.” – Klaus Heydemann, producer
