Boasting a playful form and emotional content, this modest but touching documentary shows a father and son road trip morphing into a musical journey that examines the fraught history of Finnish immigration in Sweden. The best film yet from helmer Mika Ronkainen, the pic uses vintage songs to delve into distressing memories shared by many Swedish Finns, involving shame, guilt, crime and alcoholism. Fortyish musician Kai Latvalehto has an adorable son and a happy marriage, but still feels rootless. Perhaps his feeling stems from a childhood spent in Sweden and a return to Finland as a teen. As taciturn Kai and dad Tauno drive from Oulu, Finland to their former home in Göteborg, Sweden their painfully honest conversations are punctuated by songs written in the 1970s by first generation Finnish immigrants to Sweden, performed live by second generation Swedish-Finnish musicians. The appealing musical performances deserve a soundtrack album. (Karlovy Vary International Film Festival)

El documental es musical, lo que se refleja en el hecho de que varias veces la película se interrumpe con una grabación de dos o tres minutos de una banda que toca una canción relacionada con el tema tratado. Notable, pero distrae al público de la pareja principal, que es interesante y entretenida (el guitarrista de la antigua banda de rock finlandesa Aknestic Kai Latvalehto y su padre), pero se dedica demasiado poco tiempo a las excelentes conversaciones entre ellos. La película en torno a ellos que trata la cuestión de la identidad existencial de las personas con raíces finlandesas-suecas es, por desgracia, demasiado larga y aburrida.
