What happens

Restless (Finnish: Levottomat) is a 2000 Finnish romantic film directed by Aku Louhimies. It was entered into the 22nd Moscow International Film Festival. The sex scenes in the film sparked uproar and disapproval from the audience and critics after the release. Critic Antti Lindqvist wrote in Katso (5/2000) that the director throws more sex scenes and naked women and men on the screen more than anyone since Lauri Törhönen's 1986 film The Undressing. Restless was followed by Me and Morrison (2001) and Addiction (2004). Restless was co-written by Louhimies and Aleksi Bardy, but they did not participate in the sequels. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
