Euthanizer

Armomurhaaja

This violent noir with the distinct touch of Finnish humor tells the story of Veijo Haukka, a 50-year-old mechanic whose second job is to put sick pets to sleep. Veijo (whose last name means “hawk”) has only one principle: he doesn’t kill healthy dogs… Α quirky moral tale about animal rights and human responsibilities, about “man’s best friends” and the beast within.
