Take a look in advance

On October 14, 1930, around 9 a.m., activists from the Finnish far-right Lapua Movement kidnapped the country’s first president, Kaarlo Juho Ståhlberg, and his wife, Ester. That sounds like the premise for a thrilling political thriller, but *The Kidnapping of a President* is an absurdist comedy, fitting the bizarre reality of the (true) story, in which the kidnappers became so overwhelmed by the increasingly confusing situation that… things definitely don’t go according to plan.

*The Kidnapping of a President* is a dark comedy that cleverly explores a bizarre historical event, offering both humor and thought-provoking commentary on political extremism.
