“Jari [Antti Reini] and Minna [Maria Heiskanen] are a pair of social misfits from Finland – he’s 23 and has a criminal record; she’s two years younger and pregnant. The two are driving aimlessly around northern Sweden, living from shoplifting and burglary. — But when they steal a bicycle, it triggers a catastrophe. —
Based on true events, the story was adapted for the screen by Per Olov Enquist (The Royal Physician’s Visit). Although it was greeted with controversy in Sweden, this drama of a marginalised couple with no prospects won Jan Troell the Silver Bear as Best Director at the 1992 Berlin International Film Festival.”
