Timo is an esteemed concert pianist whose personal life is on the rocks. One day he finds an older shabby-looking man at his door. The man, Leo, turns out to be his father who left the country when Timo was 3-and hasn't been in touch for 35 years. Leo, an eternal trickster with a positive outlook on life, had to leave his homeland thanks to a series of messy entanglements. Now he's come back to hand over a rather mysterious legacy to his son and answer questions regarding the past. To do this the two will have to embark on a trip together and hit the road north. What starts out as a comical and quirky clash of personalities ends up as an emotional revelation, as the two men inadvertently help each other to come to terms with their own failings. (KinoSmith)

Considering that the film showed a city signpost of a place where I lived for half a year, I have to admit, I did not expect anything like this road movie from the Finns. Perhaps it was caused by the upcoming autumn sun. They all melted so much it made me bate my breath. The old father needed to uncover some skeletons in his closet and he did it in a big way. And I have to admit I really had fun and at the same time enjoyed the flat, forested and in overall nice landscape, which did not change even in Lapland.
