Yle's Kulttuuricocktail asked the biggest production companies in Finland the screenplays for their biggest hits. The material gathered included 16 films, including The Unknown Soldier, 21 Ways to Ruin a Marriage and multiple Risto Räppääjä films. Based on this, an AI model is now producing an endless amount of scripts for surreal film scenes. In the documentary, we see how Jussi nominated director Siiri Halko and Jussi winner Seidi Haarla, among others, work with the algorithm. Within the documentary is included Halko's short film Viimeinen sopimus (2024), which is based on the most popular films in Finland. What does a probability-based AI model reveal about the hit films and culture of Finland? What is it like to work on a film in the absence of a screenwriter? "We don't even realise how massively this will change things."
