I'm Finnish and live in Helsinki, so this film was very close to my heart. Most of the places where it was filmed are places I know and visit regularly. It could have been real. In tempo it is slow, which is very typical of the Finnish films and our temperament. The plot was fascinating and held one's interest to the end. Anyone who loves paintings, art history, and the world of auctions would enjoy it. I would give it 4 stars out of five.
