Omschrijving

Mervi is a young gay girl living in the hipster quarters of Helsinki. She has been living together with her German-Iranian girlfriend Kata for a year. The circumstances encourage them to finally come out of the closet. Because Kata's parents are still in Berlin (but on their way!), they travel to Mervi's hometown in Finland to confront her parents first. There, Mervi finds out that she’s not the only one hiding secrets. The two girls will find themselves in the middle of social mayhem in a community of gang bangers, bisexual pastors, activists, racists, refugees, alcoholics and drug abusers. Finally, a belligerent neo-Nazi group breaks in. NIMBY, if you didn't know, stands for the typical expression Not In My Backyard. This dark and satirical comedy was made by the director and producer of festival hit film Euthanizer, which was screened at the Noordelijk Film Festival in 2018.
