Synopsis

Dorm No. 13 is a black comedy about living in a human herd and the responsibility that follows when learning how to kill. It follows young conscripts through basic training as they grow from strangers to friends - only to realize that true strength lies in responsibility, trust, and friendship.

Note from the artistic direction

Heading to the far north of Finland, we meet a group of young people who will, by necessity, become a troupe, a unit. Creators Teemu NIKKI and Jani PÖSÖ borrow from the codes of dark comedy to explore what binds us with great subtlety and irreverence.
