The Happiest Day in the Life of Olli Mäki (Hymyilevä mies) by first time director Juho Kuosmanen won the Un Certain Regard prize at the Cannes Film Festival. Now you can see this feel-good Finnish boxing biopic at the BFI London Film Festival. The gorgeous black and white charmer, set in 1962, sees Olli Mäki having to decide between the fame and the girl.
