Pirtua, pirtua is a 1991 Finnish drama movie directed by Visa Mäkinen. The plot consists of a young man fighting against bootleggers in his home village during Finnish prohibition.

The movie, which was Visa Mäkinen's first attempt at a serious movie, ended up a box office flop, with only 1,650 tickets sold and caused losses of a million Finnish markka. Mäkinen gave up on making movies as a result. When Pirtua, Pirtua aired on the Finnish television channel MTV3 in May 1995, it was seen by 287,000 viewers. In June 2001, another 180,000 television viewers saw the movie.
