Jaakko, blind and disabled by MS, hates nothing more than being patronised. When he receives bad news from Sirpa, the girlfriend he has never met in person, he decides to travel to her with the help of strangers. Teemu Nikki's delightful comedy drama features a unique but absolutely wonderful protagonist. Jaakko is a movie buff who never loses his sense of humour. Nikki puts us in his shoes by using a shallow depth of field, which keeps everyone else out focus. Sadly his script throws an unnecessary dramatic twist, which takes the traveller on a long sidetrack.
