Actor-singer Ella Lymi, 25, stars in the new Kaverikirja series. The drama series follows the lives of a group of friends consisting of young adults. Ella plays Alina, who has just broken up with a relationship.
– Alina is such a force of nature and quite temperamental, which is why she often causes chaos around her. At the same time, she is a really sympathetic and sincere person, Ella describes her character.
The second main part is played by Laura Eklund Nhaga, an actress known from the Hotel Swan Helsinki series. The two knew each other from the same school, although even then they did not move in the same circle of friends.

The competition in the industry is fierce, but that has not discouraged the young talent.
– When the role has gone to someone else, I think that it was the right person for it. This is exactly how it was supposed to go, he continues.
– If you think too much about the industry in terms of competition, you will probably become bitter and jealous. However, they are not good feelings.
Home tip
Ella’s parents are familiar to Finnish viewers. His mother is Jussi award-winning actress-director Tiina Lymi. Ella’s father, an actor Eero Ahohas also been awarded during his career with a Jussi statue for the movie 8-ballo.
The parents once gave Ella some advice.
– They said choose any profession other than acting.
However, the opposite happened.

Ella is currently acting in Turku City Theater’s Kunnia performance. In the dark drama, Ella plays a teenage girl who has a challenging relationship with her single father.
In addition to work, Ella studies at Teatterikorkeakoulu. The plan is to finish next spring.
– I am quite ambitious. I enjoy what I get to do. In this profession, you can never be ready. You can become more confident and the kilometers bring that confidence.
Ella says that she admires the actor Marja Packalénia and Seela Sella.
Punk undertones
Ella also makes music under her own name. His €2.60 song appeared last in September. The melody of the song has punk nuances. The first listen even reminds me of the successful duo PMMP of the past years, formed by Paula Vesala and Mira Luoti.
– As a lyricist, Vesala is someone I have always admired.
– My musical style is a bit like showing a spiritual middle finger with a twinkle in the corner of the eye, Ella laughs good-naturedly.

So what does he mean by spiritual middle finger?
– It’s about not taking yourself too seriously. Says things straight without embellishing.
Ella describes herself as outspoken in her own life. Over the years, however, we have learned that it is not always worth pushing things.
– Our best sides can sometimes be our worst sides. Of course, you can move things forward when you say it directly, but you shouldn’t be mean to anyone.
