In Rike Jokela's film, a close-knit group of seven friends begins an initially harmless but gradually disconcerting dinner party game called “No Secrets.” Before long, each other’s fragile facades — and the secrets behind them — start to unravel.
The star-studded cast includes Pekka Strang, Pirjo Lonka, Laura Birn, Jani Volanen, Hannu-Pekka Björkman, Joonas Saartamo, and Malla Malmivaara.
Perfect Strangers is based on Paolo Genovese’s record-breaking hit Perfetti sconosciuti (2016) which has been remade in over 20 countries — now also in Finland.
