The story

What Is Gotta Run! About?

The premise of Gotta Run! without spoilers.

After completing military service, three friends—Juuso, Late and Pyry—return to their tiny Finnish village, where employment is hard to find. Juuso signs on for a Norwegian oil‑drilling platform. Late refuses his family’s chicken farm, tries to find work in Gothenburg, but is deported back to Finland. Pyry, caught in a dispute over his late father’s estate, drops his agricultural studies and, together with Late, takes a job at a steel mill in southern Finland.
