This little Italian film made me outstandingly happy.It´s warm,beautifully shot,nicely acted and a very nice tale(sort of a fairytale).Its´ common people are easy to like;and what a wonderful pair is the main pair Licia Maglietta and Bruno Ganz.They really give magic to this magical film.And if that´s not enough:the musical score is great(harmonica and all ay ay ay!).If you like lovestories don´t you miss this one !

This film is a truly beautiful little fairytale film.A very nice continuance for director Saarela and for actors Järvenhelmi,Franzen and Edelmann.This film tells a story about getting a new friend and sticking with her thru thick and thin.As the film says love can beat the death and can make a difference.Director Saarela can make all types of films you can tell:Rukajärventie (Ambush) is a magnificent war film,Bad Luck Love is a story about love in suburban hell and about gang wars and now this beautiful fairytale.Totally awesome !!!

This is a top finnish film this year,although Tango Kabaree comes close.The Director Lampela made couple of years back another nice little film called Rakastin epätoivoista naista (I was in love with a desperate woman).Joki is truly true-to-life beautiful film of one saturday afternoon in a little village/town.The actors are maybe not so handsome or beautiful but they do act beautifully.I certainly do hope that many of them get JUSSI statue (finnish OSCAR) next spring.I think this film could make it abroad as well.
