The boys end up chasing a mysterious hole-stealing thief and find out that the whole town and its villagers are in danger. In the end, our young heroes save, not only the people of Mouthwater but everyone in Elsewhere too. In fact, they save the entire world from getting sucked into a big black hole!

Teemu Nikki (1975) is a self-educated, award-winning filmmaker and son of a pig farmer from Sysmä, Finland. His film “Euthanizer” (2017) was a festival success and the official Finnish Oscar entry for the 2019 Academy Awards. “The Blind Man Who Did Not Want to See Titanic” (2021) won the Orizzonti Extra Audience Award in Venice. Nikki has also directed numerous short films and popular series. Nikki’s style is best described as a good-willed yet unapologetic political satire of humanity.
