Dreams can come true with a little hard work - but beware of the weather!

A young kid who lives with on his parent's potato farm house, dreams about having something else for dinner, which doesn't include potatoes. To achieve this goal he saves up some money (mostly from collecting old bottles and exchanging them at the store), so that he can finally order a pizza, and share it with the family.

As it turns out, bringing the pizza back home from the store is a bit more difficult than originally anticipated... but the kid still keeps going! Not sure why this movie was set in the 1980s (perhaps to show that ordering take-out wasn't so prominent in Finland back then?), but it was entertaining nonetheless, and was a fun short comedy/timepiece - which for some reason was screened at a Museum in Odense (Denmark), where I saw it last week.

Finnish cinema is known for its minimalist style, dry humor, and reflective mood. It often explores loneliness, resilience, and human connection against stark northern landscapes. Finnish films balance melancholy and warmth, capturing the Nordic atmosphere through understated human drama and strong character focus.
