Rosvopankki (2023)

The drama is inspired by the true events of Finland's banking crisis of the late 1980s-early 1990s, which had long-lasting effects on the country. The story combines fictitious characters with real people, such as financier Christopher Wegelius (now in his 90s) who was then involved in the collapse of Skopbank, but finally cleared by the Finnish Supreme Court in 2000. The story follows the young idealist economist Salla Nurminen (Amanda Pilke) from the Bank Inspectorate, who vows to fight corrupt bankers. She becomes supervisor of the central savings bank SKOP, run by the charismatic CEO Christopher Wegelius (Pekka Strang). SKOP is where young invincible lions can build fortunes, by speculating through a 'strike and cash in' approach. Soon Salla enters a cat and mouse game with Wegelius.
