              The Arctic Circle of Lust

              Markku Heikkinen / Finland, Germany & Sweden / 2026 / International Premiere / 97 min

              In Finland, a middle-aged couple of potato farmers must agree on the rules for living together, as the man's bisexuality puts the limits of their love to the test.

              Petri and Anu are a sweet couple. They love each other, are married, and have the rest of their lives ahead of them together on their farm somewhere in the countryside high up in Finland. But there is just one thing. At the age of 50, Petri has come out as bisexual. And even though Anu understands and loves him, they have to rethink the rules of their relationship.

              There is a touching honesty and openness in ‘The Arctic Circle of Lust’, where we experience the local cruising and dating culture among farmers who meet in forests and at rest stops, while Petri himself is out on his dates. Markku Heikkinen has created a truly unusual love story that avoids sensationalizing something that indeed should not be a taboo. For while Petri and Anu may struggle to put their thoughts and feelings into words, their love shines through like the light of the sun shining over the potato fields in the far north.
