The name Elena Leeve is becoming more and more well known in the Scandinavian movie and theatre industry. At the young age of 26, Elena can already look back at a long list of movie and TV productions in which she was cast. She´s also the two-time winner of the Jussi Award, the main national film award of Finland. When Elena needs a change of scenery, she jumps on her bike and explores the vast landscapes of her homeland - her favorite escape.

An actor since she was a child and a lifelong cyling enthusiast, it was coincidentally her role in the film, Cyclomania, which brought her some of her finest performance reviews. The 2001 Finnish film tells the story of two young men, possessed with training for a cycling competition and their relationship to Oona, Elena´s character, as the protagonist of this emotionally charged drama - perhaps a small twist of fate?
