You will hate me for posting this.

"Machen wir's auf Finnisch"

In 9 parts. A German TV comedy with now Finnish subtitles. It certainly is not polite, and it probably does not help to improve international relations when you see what clichés (if they are that! :) ) Germans have about your place.

But I admit I'm guilty to have laughed tears first time I saw it on TV. The closing scene, with the toilet-delivery, had me laying flat on the floor, helplessly slamming the fists on the ground in laughter.

Don'T know if I would need to laugh that much again. But I kept it in memory to have been very funny for sure.

Don'T know what the Finnish comments say on the youtube page, cannot understand it. Maybe they say thjat the movie is pretty good.

But it'S also possible that they just mean a strong warning. :lol:

"Rakastan tätä elokuvaa!!!!! <3<3" translation: I love this movie!!!!! <3<3

Okay. Gotta watch it myself later.

And more importantly tell us too how it was, so we can look down on it together. I mean, that's totally Finnish and I'm disappointed if it's not included in the film itself (see, I'm starting already!)

Her family descends from the German-tongued minority in Belgium, were she was born, too. And yes, she looks and acts cute in her movies.

She says she loves children, and in her home-town also is privately engaged in some social projects regarding kids-caretaking, theatre groups, playing groups, and such, where she is said to not just play a VIP's advertising role, but working with the kids themselves. She has reduced her acting career quite visibly for the sake of doing more in kids projects and spending more time with the kids. - I would say, this really suits the general impression she gives.

Although having had not few TV appearances and even had several major leading roles in TV and cinema movies, she is not widely known to the German audience. I wonder why.
