Long Good Thursday
While on a shopping trip, Grump smells Saimi, a woman who smells just right and throws the whole man in a state of confusion. The Grump would not have believed that his chest could still feel like a young boy's. The Grump has to admit that he enjoys Saimi’s company. The words, looks, and touch of another awaken long-forgotten feelings. The Grump’s sons are incredulous and downright jealous of their father, and they don’t want to trust Saimi’s sincerity… could she be after the inheritance? Family meetings, misunderstandings, moonlight swims, and sleepless nights. Indeed, Cupid's arrow can pierce even an old man's flannel shirt.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs a tale of late-life romance, relying on the stark contrast between the protagonist's gruff exterior and his vulnerable heart. It explores not just the awakening of love, but the seismic shock it sends through his settled family dynamics, where he is seen more as an institution than a person.
What lingers after the credits is a gentle, humorous warmth that challenges the notion that personal growth has an age limit. It's a tender reminder that the heart's capacity for surprise is endless. — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: Mika Kaurismäki
