The movies does not show you the present state of Finland.
For those of you who are thinking that not all is well in the mythical land of Nokia and polar bears*, I'd like to express that the movie does not take place in the year 2002 or even the 1990's. The music, the way people dress and everything poit out to the 80's or even the 70's. Back then, Nokia made tires and rubber shoes. Moreover, it does not depict the day to day life of actual Finns living in Helsinki. It is a romantic picture about decency, goodness and dignity that people can have even if they don't have anything else.
*The only polar bears you'll find in Finland, live in a zoo.
