I watched this because it was a cycling film but it was so much more than a simple sports film. On the surface it is about the rivalry between K and Eetu to be top dog on a local Finnish cycling team (and later a love rivalry for Oona), with the three main characters all working for the same bike messenger company.
Eetu is the number one cyclist in the cycling team but K beats him in a local race changing the status quo. As an aside, it is mainly a roadie bike film but there is some underground MTB training in a local mine.
But it is more than a cycling film - it is also a film about ambition, love, friendship and life. How many Finnish films have you watched- I can't think of any? This film works on all levels- it has a story, some action and the cinematography is also good. It may be a "small" film but it is worth 90 minutes of your time.
