They live two lives. They work to survive, but music is their passion. At night they perform in sold out concert halls, and clean toilets the morning after. They tickle the ivories and sort out the trash in close succession. They interpret Beethoven just before repairing exhaust pipes. They are survival artists.

They lead through deserts, through ice and snow, through jungles, through water and over mountains. Those standing before them are often filled with equal measures of trepidation and awe but definitely with a feeling of unease. They have no need of legends to instil them with a respect for those who set off along these thoroughfares – the actual conditions themselves suffice. There is only one goal – to arrive. It is a “Dangerous Road”.

This film embarks on a road trip into the fascinating music scene of Finland – a journey that spans melancholy, metal, humour and more. Bassist and great-grandson of Jean Sibelius, Lauri Porra, joins forces with the cello quartet Apocalyptica to interpret the unofficial Finnish national anthem Finlandia in their own unique style and thereby immerse themselves in the mentality and culture of this young nation. The Finns cultivate and cherish a wild mix of musical styles in which zany and anarchic humour can transform effortlessly into deeply felt melancholy. The musical spectrum ranges from Finnish tango to deafening heavy metal and screaming male choirs, all the way to a long and distinguished line of Finnish conductors.
