Joulukuusivarkaat (2009 TV Movie)

Warm hearted story that can make an adult man to burst in tears

[9/10 · 24 December 2011]

This story tells about an honest and stand-up older man who ends up in trouble after bad investments. Rotten bank manager tries to rip him off of everything valuable and finally even kick him off his own property. With the help of his trustworthy and loyal friend they try to make some money to pay the bills but the bank manager don't play by the books. Story takes place pre-Christmas and ends at the eve and that brings it's own spice to story. There are of course other plot twists that make the movie even better but better to keep some hidden. If you like "a bit odd" Finnish way of making movies you should see this. The main characters are some of the "grand old man" of Finnish film industry. I have seen this twice, both times at Christmas eves, and loved it, cried both times, but loved it...
