Pretty good "sport" movie even if little naive.

I really like Härö's directorial touch, even though the story is a bit conventional.

Finland's Oscar bait for the 2016 awards. Rightfully didn't reach the final batch being a little hollow and it's not like there was a whole lot going on here. Still a sweet story with a light moral victory during Soviet times. Felt they caught the mood alright.
