Arja Saijonmaa is the subject of a new documentary that portrays her career as one built on change, courage and a willingness to take risks. The film offers a less polished image of the artist than the public persona many viewers know.

According to HBL, the documentary includes Saijonmaa’s bare face, her mess and her blunt humour. The result is a portrait that highlights both vulnerability and strength, while underlining her long-standing habit of speaking out.
