THE BANISHED
THE BANISHED is a colourful documentary about the struggle for survival
of neighbourhood youth in Helsinki over a period of one
year. In an attempt to keep the youngsters in Vesala off
the streets, Timi, a 30 year-old gypsy, has founded a
multicultural indoor bandy team. The main characters of the
film, Krisse and Ville, both play on the team. Krisse’s and
Ville’s families are joined together by friendship and a
common lifestyle: clashes with the police and
alienation from the society.
