Wiki.
Homebound (Finnish: Kotia päin) is a 1989 Finnish crime drama film directed by Ilkka Järvi-Laturi. It tells the story of a young student who moves 600 kilometres (370 mi) away from his hometown to the capital to study, as he worries about his mother's problematic relationship with a new husband. The film is starring by Ilkka Koivula and Jonna Järnefelt.
The film was Järvi-Laturi's first feature film. According to Järvi-Laturi, he was inspired by the 1986 news headline of Ilta-Sanomat: "The death of the one thrown into the sea was the revenge of the underworld". The news piqued his interest because it gave the impression of organized crime.
