HUNGER FOR LOVE drama in 3 episodes Director: Juha Lehtola Producer: Katriina Mattila, Finnish Broadcasting Company YLE 2007 Duration: 3 x 58' Distribution: Finnish Broadcasting Company YLE A new generation's view on a classic Finnish crime novel. In Helsinki, strange nocturnal break-ins in people's homes are reported to the police. Door locks are picked quietly, nothing gets stolen or broken. The masterly culprit is Tipi, a 26 year old man, who creeps in like a cat and caresses women who are asleep. Tipi is driven by a hunger for love. And the same hunger torments chief inspector Harjunpää, who is assigned to the case. Hunger for Love is a thriller that takes place in the streets, back-alleys and gateways of Helsinki. It tells the story of professional burglars, a major crime and a yearning for closeness. It's a story of a chase, where both parties, the police and the criminal are tormented by the same feeling which neither one can control.
