Vinsky and the Invisibility Powder
Original title: Vinski ja näkymättömyyspulveri
German title: Winski und das Unsichtbarkeitspulver
The small town of Hömpstad is plagued by a series of burglaries, and the police seem to be powerless. One day, ten-year-old Vinski meets an old pharmacist who thinks the town needs a superhero like Vinski and gives the boy an invisibility powder. This magic powder not only makes people invisible, but also lets them walk through thick walls. Vinski is supposed to go on the hunt for the burglars with the help of this powder. But Vinski is anything but a hero. The rather shy boy has no friends and is bullied by Juuso and his gang. But when his mother’s pastry shop is raided at night and all the money is stolen, Vinski has to take action. Together with the old pharmacist, he haunts the town invisibly at night and catches one crook after another. However, there is still one suspect, namely Vinski’s mother’s new boyfriend, the security man Antero. The pharmacist fears that Vinski is not guided by evidence but rather by his jealousy and thus jeopardises the secret operation.

„Filmblog Antti Alanen schätzt die Gestaltung des Films als Mischung aus zeitlosen Elementen und modernen Details. Besonders die Spezialeffekte der Unsichtbarkeit und Szenen des Übergangs seien stilvoll, ebenso die musikalische Untermalung: „Leri Leskinen und Lasse Enersen haben eine Musik komponiert, die eine magische Atmosphäre schafft.“
