FINLAND, 1930. During a drunken hunting trip, a group of farright officers order the kidnapping of the former president of the nation – only to forget all about it by morning. As they scramble to clean up their mess, the president’s sharp-witted 70-year-old wife, Ester, seizes control of the situation. Based on true events, The Kidnapping of a President is a dark comedy about the fragility of democracy and a failed revolution.
