Director: Dome Karukoski
Cast: Pamela Tola, Samuli Vauramo, Eero Milonoff, Eero Saarinen

A smart young girl wants to become a singer but, much to the pleasure of her stiff upper class parents, her career doesn't seem to take off. An idealistic hip hop producer helps her to cut a demo and soon it's l-o-v-e. This Finnish variation on 8 Mile pays attention to the look and sound, and it pays off, but a hint of originality wouldn't hurt. Now it's a watchable but very forgettable flick.
