To live with the lie

Accidentally or not, a Russian missile, possibly armed with a nuclear warhead, is shot into Finland's airspace and is lost somewhere in Lapland. An eager journalist is ambitious finding the truth of the case, but seems no one really pays any attention except for the government's serious-looking people in suits and uniforms. Probably the biggest surprise of the year, a truly funny Finnish comedy that turns into a serious and melancholy bit midway the movie, penned to perfection, great soundtrack and the cast is crafted of the country's finest such as Oona Airola, Hannu-Pekka Björkman, Tommi Korpela, Sakari Kuosmanen, Kari Väänänen, Kai Lehtinen and Ona Kamu. Written and directed by Miia Tervo.
