CGiii Comment

Hideous music throughout, weak performances and, a director who hasn't a clue...

The writing is banal and threadbare.

Lehkamo has done little since...he got funding to make a film and wasted the opportunity.

The(ir) Blurb...

Jukka, 13, is coached in photography by his openly gay art teacher. With his dead father's old camera, Jukka sees Johanna, a beautiful girl in her early twenties being physically abused by her stepfather. With the help of the local fire department, Jukka comes to her rescue. He quickly befriends the girl who works in a nearby supermarket, claims to become her manager and enters her in a beauty contest.
