Matti and Sami and the Three Biggest Mistakes in the Universe (2018)
Matti dreams of a family vacation in his father’s native country, Finland. He manages to get what he wants by telling a whopping lie. But once they get there, Matti, his younger brother Sami and his parents find themselves without a place to stay, no money and no car in the middle of the Finnish wasteland. Only a miracle can save them – or Uncle Jussi, who has been struggling to compete with Matti’s father his whole life. A summer movie for children that stands out for its wonderful pun... And that´s not a lie.
