Lapland Odyssey is a comedy about Janne, a man from Lapland in northern Finland, a man who has made a career out of living on welfare. Inari, his girlfriend, is tired of Janne's incapability of getting a grip on life, Janne wasn't even able to buy a digital TV box that Inari had given money for. Inari gives an ultimatum: a digital box needs to arrive by dawn or she leaves. Janne sets out into the night with his two friends to find a box. On their way to the city of Rovaniemi, Janne and his friends face many challenges, obstacles and temptations. They learn that they need to be daring. There's no room to give into bitterness. The most important thing isn't success, but rather the journey in itself.

She's so real for threatening to move to the other side of the country cause she can't watch TV

I fucking love this film! I remember this was the shit when I was in like 5th grade and understandably so, I mean what could be funnier to a bunch of 11 year olds than a car with a license plate that says "boob" in Finnish

I also love how short lived the digibox craze was and how they've already been long replaced by streaming services. I don't have one. But I did love our digibox at home, I mean you could record shows and watch them whenever! How crazy!

In addition this also reminds me of the few Lapland trips I made with my grandma when I was a kid that I remember dearly (I've even been to the spa :D)
