** HERE MIGHT BE SPOILERS **
Matti reminisces about his youth with best friend Niila. In the village of Pajala in the far north of Sweden they grew up and experienced their personal adventures. Now, to me this movie is a long biopic of Matti's youth, full of stereotypes (how accurate they may be, I have no way to tell), with some funny episodes now and then. It may be more funny or interesting for someone who actually grew up there and then (or in some similar place), but for me, not having done that, it just wasn't. The general plot and story was very loosely connected and some scenes or subplots actually seemed unnecessary, not contributing in any other way than extending the movie a few minutes. However, good performances from the actors and in some sense an interesting view. However, for entertainment... not that good.
5/10
