From the production information: "THE BIRTH OF HEINÄMÄKI. In 1999 Heikki Salo and Janne Louhivuori published an album of children's music called "Omskista" [untranslatable, and nonsense also in Finnish] based on which Timo Kahilainen and Heikki Salo wrote for YLE TV2 a children's series called Herra Heinämäki [Mr. Heinämäki]. Heikki Hela got the role of Mr. Heinämäki. The series was directed by Matti Grönberg. Simultaneously established was Herra Heinämäen Lato-orkesteri [Mr Heinämäki's Barn Orchestra]: Heikki Salo (vocals), Janne Louhivuori (guitars and many other instruments), Jouko Mäki-Lohiluoma (drums), and Mikko Löytty (bass). The Herra Heinämäki tv series was continued in 2008 and 2009 via the new albums "Nyree näkkäri" [Sullen Crispbread] and "Äiti venyy" [Mother Is Flexible]. The series have been released on dvd in 2010. During the Christmas season of 2010 the musical Christmas show Herra Heinämäen joulu [Mr. Heinämäki's Christmas] was transmitted on YLE TV2."
"THE MOVIE. In 2009 Salo and Kahilainen started to plan a feature theatrical Heinämäki movie with music, warmth, friendship, humour, adventure, and an exciting plot. Previously Salo and Kahilainen had co-written based on a play by Salo the movie Beatlehem, directed by Pekka Karjalainen. The new Heinämäki movie was directed besides Matti Grönberg by Pekka Karjalainen whose company was responsible for the sound production. The movie was shot in Kangasala during June-July 2011."
"THE CONTENTS OF THE MOVIE. Herra Heinämäki ja leijonatuuliviiri is a funny and exciting family movie. During the Finnish war in 1808-1809 Jeppe Antinpoika the highwayman manages to rob the treasure of the King of Sweden. A bag full of jewels remains behind the oven structure for over 200 years. The city girl Aurora, also known as Arska [a male nickname], comes to spend summer days with her eccentric country relative Mr. Heinämäki. Heinämäki's neighbour, the baker Kakelberg, is in trouble, for ghosts have started to appear in his house, and his business is being sabotaged. One night Arska catches a strange prowler in the cellar of the baker's house. Together with Mr. Heinämäki Arska starts to solve the clue of the baker's house."
Among the main ingredients are also: - The orchestra, Herra Heinämäen Lato-Orkesteri, is on the run from the police because of overspeeding. - The girl Aurora / Arska gets the idea to arrange a garage sale and a charity concert to help the unfortunate baker family. - Mauri Mutka is a big crook in a policeman's uniform.
Because there are laptops the story seems to take place in the present, but on the wall of the police station is the portrait of Urho Kekkonen whose term of presidency ended in 1982.
The Kummeli comedy team has been active on the YLE TV2 channel since 1991, with Heikki Silvennoinen (1991–), Timo Kahilainen (1991–), Heikki Hela (1992–), Heikki Vihinen (1995–), Mari Turunen (1994–), Olli Keskinen (1991–1994, 1999–2000), Janne Saarinen (1991), Tom Lindholm (1992-1993), Miia Selin (2003–2004) and Mikko Kivinen (2003–2004) [the list copied from Finnish Wikipedia].
There have been four theatrical Kummeli feature films before. Herra Heinämäki ja leijonatuuliviiri is the fifth. The focus is different since it is family entertainment with a young girl in the leading role.
This movie is light family entertainment, a summer farce with its fair share of original ideas and performances. The basic Kummeli ensemble has an assured sense of play, and the children blend with them in a natural way. The family audience at the cinema obviously enjoyed the show.
The digital look is artificial in an interesting way like in the previous Kummeli production, Kummeli alivuokralainen. Sometimes I regretted the over-bright colour settings, in the beginning some grayish settings, and as a rule the usual digital difficulties with nature footage.
