Rai Rai! is a documentary about the grim reality of the Finnish rock 'n' roll dream and the intense brotherhood – a tale of what it means to be Finnish, the wild energy of summer nights, regret, hangovers, and a dash of glorious madness.

Released in 2005, the documentary follows Kotiteollisuus, a band riding high on their fame, as they tour across Finland, laughing at and weeping for both themselves and their audience. In the midst of boyish prank-playing and downright mayhem-making, band members Jouni Hynynen, Janne Hongisto, and Jari Sinkkonen find themselves wondering at the twisted affair they’ve got with such things as fame, stardom and sometimes even with their own personalities.
