Speeding, of Course

Jukka, a teenager in rural Finland, dreams of becoming a motocross champion while his farmer father sees him only as a farmhand. Every day after school, Jukka secretly trains on an old motorcycle track, sketching jump diagrams in his notebook instead of solving equations. The 2025 animated documentary transforms this coming-of-age story into a universal portrait of choosing between family duty and personal ambition. Real interview footage with Finnish motocross riders intertwines with hand-drawn animation, creating a hybrid genre where documentary precision meets poetic fiction. The film explores not just sporting obsession but the cultural gap between rural traditions and youth subcultures.
