Finnish subtitles by Pirkko Lahti. Viewed in Kinopalatsi 3, Helsinki, 17 Jan 2005 (premiere week). A pleasant sample from the strong Swedish tradition of cinema about the young. It's also a part of a recent exciting multi-national cycle of films about the Far North (The Invisible Elina, The Cuckoo). Two single parents have a date in Lapland. Their 12-year-old children hate each other at first sight. Emma, the girl of Lapland lives in a trekking area outside the reach of electricity and even mobile phones. Daniel is the Stockholm nerd seemingly tied with an umbilical cord to his Lifebook. Guess who have the date next year.
