Dad is selling pretzels
In the early sixties Finnish boxer Olli Mäki is preparing for a world title fight. The problem is he is in love (the manager quote, 'The shittiest moment to fall in love') and he hates the circus that precedes the match. The contemporary Finnish cinema is in standstill and this one brings breath of fresh air by harking back to the good old days of melancholy and taciturnity. Wonderful ending (with the real life Olli Mäki making a cameo) to boot.
