Heavy Trip is a 2018 Finnish comedy film directed by Juuso Laatio and Jukka Vidgren. The film follows the story of Turo, a metalhead who lives in a small village in Finland and dreams of playing his band's music on the big stage. Turo is the lead vocalist for the amateur metal band Impaled Rektum, which has been practicing for 12 years without playing a single gig. The other members of the band include Pasi, the guitarist; Jynkky, the bassist; and Lotvonen, the drummer.
One day, the guys get a surprise visitor from Norway, a promoter for a huge heavy metal music festival. The promoter offers the band a gig at the festival, which is scheduled to take place in a few days. Turo and the guys are thrilled at the opportunity to play on the big stage and decide to embark on a road trip to Norway to make their dreams a reality.
However, the journey to Norway is not without its challenges. The guys steal a van to make the trip, and they end up picking up a corpse along the way, which they mistakenly think is the body of a famous heavy metal musician. They also run into trouble when their original drummer is injured, and they have to find a replacement quickly.
Despite the obstacles, the band members are determined to make it to the music festival and perform their music to a large audience. Heavy Trip is a hilarious and heartwarming film that explores themes of friendship, following your dreams, and the power of music.
