Road movies are usually defined as stories of resistance and freedom. But when younger and older generations hit the road together in the Nordic road films of 2000s the meaning of conventions tends to change. In the framework of transnational and accented cinema the chapter discusses the use of road movie conventions, particularly car space and music, in two Finnish road movies, the fictional Road North (Mika Kaurismäki, 2012) and the documentary Finnish Blood Swedish Heart (Mika Ronkainen, 2012). Both films, leading sons closer to their fathers while driving together towards their shared past, are examples of how the movement on the road makes it possible to turn the road movie’s conventional ethos of resistance disappear. In the context of changing Nordic welfare state and an otherwise insecure world in the 2000s road movies seem to have a tendency towards generational understanding and continuity.
