If you are feeling a bit in need of comfort can I recommend this film. It's a romance story that isn't OTT. It's Finnish and the Finnish countryside looks beautiful. The characters are sometimes funny and sometimes touching. If I have one criticism I would like to have seen some older women as well as the old men in it. But that's just by the by. Some of the claims aboutChinese food may be a touch exaggerated but it does leave you with a longing to have fresh food which is healthy and well cooked. Think I would love to visit Finland.

I’m going to look for it.

My son loves the Finnish people. He always says that they are so civilised.

Which channel ?

BBC 4. It was on last night in the 9pm slot where they usually have a foreign series/film.

Sorry if I got it wrong. I'm debating if I should watch it again. It was so uplifting.

So pleased others enjoyed it. It was slipped in so quietly as well. Why don't they praise films like this?
I watched "The Banshees of Innisherin" in the afternoon. An excellent film but not one which leaves a feel-good factor. This was so much better for my mood.
