Description was written before the event
When Pirjo Heikkilä embarrasses herself publicly at a charity event, she becomes convinced that life needs a change of scenery. She learns a bewildering family secret that leads her to Sweden. Pirjo sets off convinced that her real life awaits in Stockholm - surrounded by royalty, new friends, and a better sense of self-worth. But the journey turns out to be anything but valuable. She encounters increasingly awkward situations and an endless need to seem more Swedish than she actually is. Pirjo i Sverige is a warm-hearted comedy about Finnish shame, the longing for acceptance, and whether a person can truly escape themselves - even in Sweden.
