The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

This film was clearly made by young people who had to make up for a very low budget with a lot of enthusiasm. The result is a bit uneven, but nonetheless charming relationship drama.Central to the plot is the weird relationship between Jake and Erika, which has somehow been put on hold due to a traumatic event during their childhood. Closure is only obtained during a cathartic class reunion aboard a party ferry where the diverse story lines come together and matters are finally resolved. Uncharacteristically, for a Finnish film, the film makers even manage to squeeze out a happy end for all.Shoestring production values, overuse of flashbacks and uneven acting performances handicap the film, but overall it is not a bad product and managed to keep me engaged.
