Holiday Cinema is part of the Children’s Book Festival, which is held at Annantalo from 7 October 2026 to 27 February 2027. The Children’s Book Festival celebrates children’s picture books and reading through an exhibition, author visits, workshops and events.

Onneli ja Anneli (all ages)

Based on Marjatta Kurenniemi’s much-loved novel Onnelin ja Annelin talo, the film Onneli ja Anneli follows the summer of two girls in first grade, Onneli and Anneli, and the dreamlike moments spent together by the best friends away from their parents – moments in which reality and fantasy come together in a magical way.

Onneli and Anneli find some money lying on the street and use it to buy a house from the mysterious Mrs Ruusupuu. The house is the perfect dream home, with dimensions and fittings tailored precisely to Onneli and Anneli’s needs. The girls move into the house and begin to enjoy the summer of their dreams, full of adventures and surprises.

Over the summer, the girls also get to know their neighbours, including Tingelstiina and Tangelstiina and their wonderfully mysterious world, as well as Mrs Rosina Rusina, who, after an initially gloomy start, finds joy in her life.
