The Happiest Day in the Life of Olli Maki Page #2

Synopsis: The true story of Olli Mäki, the famous Finnish boxer who had a shot at the 1962 World Featherweight title. Immensely talented and equally modest, Olli's small town life is transformed when he is swept into national stardom and suddenly regarded as a symbol of his country. There's only one problem: Olli has just fallen in love. Inside of the ring, it's Finland vs. the USA, but outside, boxing and romance become unlikely adversaries vying for Olli's attention. This charming feature debut from Juho Kuosmanen was awarded the Un Certain Regard Prize at the Cannes Film Festival.

Keep your hands up.

Move your feet.

Hands up. Good!

Break! Elis!

- Olli, stop.

I can't do this anymore.

Really good job.

Let's continue.

Okay.

Good job, Olli!

Good. That's it.

Good. Hit.

Good. All right.

Don't hit an old man.

Excellent job. Excellent.

Holy sh*t, Olli.

It's looking great.

This is going to be something.

You get it?

Good job. Keep up the good work.

Good job, Olli.

Hey, guys!

Guys, listen. Oh my God.

I'd like to introduce you

to two gentlemen.

These guys are going to make

a documentary about our event.

They'll film you intensely.

Everybody will be in the film.

Me too?

- Everybody.

First and foremost we'll

concentrate on Olli's journey -

to becoming the world champion

and a national hero.

No stress.

We'll try to stay out of your way

and just film you training.

Luukkonen.

Hi.

- Hello.

We're in a bit of a hurry,

so why don't we continue later.

Good.

- See you.

Good. Thank you.

Does this have a name?

- What?

Does your buddy have a name?

Elis, can you help me

with the tie?

Can someone tie his tie?

Put the tie on him.

We're ready. Please step

in front of the camera.

Let's go, GUYS-

All right then.

Tighten it a bit. Good.

Okay. Then just a hint of a smile.

Look in the camera.

Okay, try to concentrate now.

- All right.

Smile a little and...

Everybody focus now.

Here we go. Look in the camera.

And another one.

Good. Thank you.

Then we'll take

a photo of Olli and Sirpa together.

You don't need me anymore?

- No.

Okay. Good.

Hi.

Saara, do we have a stool?

Which one?

- Take the red one.

I should get on this?

Here?

- Yes.

Will it hold?

- Oh yes.

Looking good.

Olli, don't be shy.

Put your arms around her.

Olli, I'll wait for you outside.

Good. Look into the camera.

Perfect. Good job, guys.

Olli and I have an important dinner

with a sponsor.

You can walk back to my place.

- Yeah.

Will you be all right?

We won't be long.

I'll probably get lost

in the first park. - Right.

Don't take the suit off.

I'll see you later, guys!

Here.

This one?

- Yeah.

That's a lot of silverware.

- A bit too much.

C'mon. We have a good deal

with this place.

We can eat here

as often as we like.

Of course

you can't eat that much, -

but we can bring sponsors here.

We only have to take a couple

of photos with them. - Right.

Here he comes.

Stay calm and cool.

Oh.

- Hello.

Hello. Olli Maki.

- Hello.

You like the food?

- Very much.

I mean,

we haven't eaten anything yet, -

but the food we've seen looks good.

I'll get the menu for you.

- Thank you.
