Karavaanari "kaikkien kaveri"

In the comedy Karavaanari, actor Mikko Aarnela unwillingly becomes a witness to a murder and gets drawn into a mysterious but irresistibly communal network of caravaners.

A desperate escape as a caravaner grows into a fast-paced adventure full of misunderstandings, surprises, and good-natured humor! This is one convoy you’ll want to join!
