All aboard!

Ulapalla is a road movie style documentary that follows the Finnish bands CMX, Kotiteollisuus, and 51koodia as they hit the road – or the water – around the legendary Lake Saimaa. 

Released in 2006, the film showcases the stunning scenery of Lake Saimaa and the rock personalities on this unforgettable trip. The musicians are followed by a media circus, with fans gathering along the shores and docks. They navigate the ups and downs of being on the road and the thrill of performing. While having a good time and sharing a drink with friends is an essential part of the journey, the real highlight is the shows themselves - a state of mind where the true power and energy of rock music come alive.
