A buddy comedy about a fanatic small town football supporter who falls in love with a perfect girl, only to notice that his dream-girl supports the wrong football team. Now he has to befriend the enemy or forget the girl he loves.
Acting
Ritala's desperate fanatic eyes — we've all known this man.
Writing
Dumb-guy dialogue that somehow lands real emotional beats.
Director
Teppo Airaksinen
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Finnish football culture is notoriously intense despite the national team's historic mediocrity — this mines that specific tragedy-comedy.
Director Teppo Airaksinen later pivoted to prestige TV including HBO's 'Before We Die' — quite the tonal journey from screaming fans in cargo shorts.
