What is Heavy Trip about? Toggle content

Heavy Trip is a heartwarming and hilarious comedy about a group of misfit metalheads from Finland who embark on an offbeat road trip to Norway to pursue their dreams of playing at a legendary heavy metal festival. Led by the introverted Turo, the band Impaled Rektum has been practicing for over a decade in a basement without ever performing in public. When they receive an unexpected visit from the festival's promoter, they see it as their chance to make it big. As they journey across the countryside, they encounter a series of obstacles, including a run-in with the law and a rivalry with a local balladeer. Along the way, Turo must confront his own fears and self-doubt while navigating his relationships with his bandmates and Miia, the girl he likes. With its quirky characters and outrageous antics, Heavy Trip is both an homage to heavy metal culture and an uplifting tale of friendship and perseverance. Despite their amateur status, Impaled Rektum's passion for music shines through in their original song "Flooding Secretions," which becomes their ticket to possible stardom. Will they make it to the festival in time? Will they be able to overcome their insecurities and work together as a team? Join these lovable misfits on their unforgettable journey as they take you on an unpredictable ride full of laughter, drama, and music that will leave you rooting for them until the very end!
