Skavabölen pojat (Finnish for "the boys from Skavaböle/Hyrylä") is a 2009 Finnish drama film. It was directed by Zaida Bergroth and based on a play by the same name, written by Antti Raivio in 1991 and performed at Q-teatteri in the 1990s. Skavabölen pojat is a story about two brothers, growing from children to adults, from the early 1970s to the early 1980s, in Grankulla/Kauniainen and Skavaböle/Hyrylä in the Greater Helsinki Area.
