Every Tom, Dick, and Urpo (2023)

Directed by Karoliina Gröndahl

Production: Marianne Mäkelä/napafilms (Finland)

Short Documentary (15 mins)

The Finnish man's name Urpo derives from the Latin name Urbanus which means 'cultivated' and 'city dweller'. Urbanus has been a name of 8 popes and even the Hungarian Prime Minister Orbán's name has the same roots.  But in Finland, people have started using the name Urpo as a synonym for idiot.  In this warm-hearted and humorous short documentary,  four men all called Urpo gather to reflect on the meaning and impact of their name on their lives.
