This exuberant and playful spoof of Scandinavian stereotypes tells the story of Helsinki resident Mikko (a spirited performance by Jonas Karlsson), a man who is sure that he is a Swedish soul trapped in a Finnish body.
Ever since a childhood holiday in Sweden, Mikko has been clinging to memories of a place where nothing bad ever happens and sweets like raspberry boat candies have a magical aura. However, his passion for Saab and Volvo and his Swedish-flag-decorated clogs don’t sit well with other Finns, let alone his father. Upon meeting a suicidal Swedish psychologist he seizes an opportunity for an identity switch, but in doing so, he becomes saddled with a senile mother, innumerable cultural traps, and an angry, beautiful sister who awakes more than brotherly feelings in Mikko!
