CAR BONUS / AUTOBONUS (2001)

An American dream in Finland – a brand-new car and a monthly income of 150,000 euros.

The worst recession in Finnish history is over, but unemployment is declining slowly. Finland's spectacular economic growth, driven by Nokia, does not reach everyone. Viljo and Kaisu Mikkonen, along with 30,000 other Finnish small-business owners, lost everything they owned during the recession, and returning to working life is not easy.

An American network marketing company enters Finland and starts recruiting new members. The work itself is incredibly easy: use the company's natural products, recommend them to your friends and family, and you can have everything you have ever dreamed of!

Viljo and Kaisu join the network and get to work. They use the company's products and travel around promoting them – nutritional supplements, soy products, candy with the nutritional value of salad, and a special toothpaste for sore throats. They receive a reward for every new member they recruit. Their first goal is the bonus promised by the company – a free car.
