    A Beautiful and Kind Finnish Film
    You gotta watch it! Brings a lot of joy, laughs, but also addresses many common issues concerning family and relationships, life and priorities, fathers and sons. Many of us will recognize themselves in one or some of the characters. You are not going to regret it, I promise!
