The two sisters, Taina and Pirkko, are well known in their hometown as the best brewers of Finnish Sahti strong beer. Now, their sister Päivi is getting married, and they are asked to brew 100 liters of this Finnish „liquid gold“; for the wedding celebration. However, Taina and Pirkko struggle with alcoholism, not least because of the guilt they feel over a car accident many years ago in which Päivi was seriously injured. And so, the 100 liters are completely consumed shortly after brewing. Equally hungover and desperate, the two sisters now try to procure a new batch of Sahti in time for the celebration - no matter what it takes… „100 Liters of Gold“ is a slightly quirky and subtly melancholic comedy about a family, its eventful history, and its passion for brewing beer.
