Finders of the Lost Yacht (Finnish: Pertsa ja Kilu, lit. 'Pertsa and Kilu') is a Finnish film written and directed by Taavi Vartia.[1] The film draws inspiration from the Finnish children's book series Pertsa ja Kilu by Väinö Riikkilä and specifically from the novel Viimeiset kaanit (eng. The Last Khans).[2] The film follows the adventures of two best friends, Pertsa and Kilu, as they embark on a search for a lost treasure while trying to evade a robber.[3][4]
The film stars Olavi Kiiski and Oskari Mustikkaniemi as Pertsa and Kilu respectively.[5] The film also stars: Sara Vänskä, Mimosa Willamo, Elias Westerberg, Anu Sinisalo, Turkka Mastomäki, Ville Myllyrinne, Elsa Saisio and Hannes Suominen, among others.[6][7]
The film premiered in July 2021 after being pushed back due to the COVID-19 pandemic[8] and was the 10th most watched film in Finland for that year.[9]
A sequel, Finders 2: Pharaoh's Ring, is currently in production.[10][11]
