After spending a summer in Greece, Finnish director Taavi Vartia, who is known for his work in cinema, theater and television, fell in love with this country. He was rather impressed by the landscape of the Greek islands and abundant sunlight which is why he chose to shoot his next film in Greece. "It was my dream. The climate here is very different from Finland. I wanted to live a thrilling adventure in Greece," said Vartia, who after five years was able to find the necessary funding for his new movie titled "Adventure in Greece."

The project - co-financed by the Finnish Film Fund and the Greek Film Center - will be a family-oriented story. Film shooting will take place on the Greek island of Kos, with a mostly local crew. The script has been edited by the director himself, while some of the leading actors are: Orfeas Avgoustidis, Natalia Dragoumi, Giannis Zouganelis, Laura Malmivaara and Ville Myllyrinne. Shooting is expected to start in April 2014, in the island of Kos and will last three months. Some scenes will also take place on the island of Nisyros. The film will premiere in Finland on December 12, 2014.
 "Adventure in Greece" is a story of three boys who spend their summer holiday in Kos with their parents. It is a coming-of-age story that will capture the attention of all audiences. The film’s premier is scheduled for December 2014, in Finland and will be distributed worldwide.
