Entrepreneur

Summary

An enchanting, often funny portrait of two very different start-ups: one futuristic; the other, traditional. Maija and Reetta dream of changing the eating habits of Finns, perhaps even the Chinese, with their protein alternative. They have a shiny new laboratory and a hardworking team, but are they running before they can walk? Akseli has a different motive for starting a business: he lost his job. Despite his young family's efforts, his travelling meat truck and amusement rides aren't attracting customers. Award-winning director Virpi Suutari draws surprising parallels between these two contrasting entrepreneurships.
