hit big
Once a Finnish beauty queen, now the aging Marjaleena hangs out at her Bar Bella on the Costa del Sol. Given this decline no wonder she likes to drink, preferably on a daily binge with drunkard buddy Mikko and her grown-up son Vili (Johannes Holopainen from HEAVY TRIP). Their carefree days could have gone on forever if it weren't for the increasing menace that is the Albanian mafia as well as Marjaleena's loathsome ex, who is suddenly released from prison. He now wants to get his hands on the Bella and soon enough the boozy trio finds out why: secretly hidden in the basement of the bar is a suitcase full of dineros.
Santa Mierda! Following his already superb DOGS DON'T WEAR PANTS, J.-P. Valkeapää once again proves himself to be the inventor of fantastically insane stories, served up with a good dash of gallows humour and absurd characters. Yet again he lets them wade through the pits of humanity to maybe earn their little bit of luck in the end.
