The Happiest Day in the Life of Olli Maki 12A
Finland’s entry for Best Foreign Language Oscar and an Un Certain Regard Winner at Cannes is a remarkable and surprising film chronicling the true story of a young boxer tipped for success. Olli has put Finland in the spotlight with a chance at World Featherweight title. It’s an important historical moment for Finland, and Olli has the attention of the entire country. The only problem is his attention may be elsewhere…
A humanistic sports-biopic that chooses to negate the clichés of hardship, perseverance and success in favour of an honest and charming love story.
