UK Premiere
Teemu Nikki’s smart, funny treat of a film is tailor-made for his lead actor Petri Poikolainen who has MS, is virtually blind and needs to use a wheelchair. Yet he has lost none of his appetite for life, sarcastic sense of humour or passion for movies (apart from a certain James Cameron opus). He talks every day to Sirpa (Marjaana Maijala) but they have never met. When her health worsens, his decision to visit her marks the beginning of a nerve-jangling adventure every bit as dangerous as anything that Snake Plissken ever undertook. A triumphant film that places you inside the world of its irrepressible hero.
