Olli Mäki’nin bu kadar mutlu olmasını sağlayan şey ne? Birkaç gün sonra Finlandiya boks tarihinin en önemli maçına çıkacak olması mı? Hayır. Bütün medyanın gözbebeği, ülkesinin gururu haline gelmesi mi? Hiç sanmıyoruz. Raija’nın ona içtenlikle gülümsemesi olabilir, ama belki. Olli Maki’nin En Mutlu Günü, kariyerinin en önemli müsabakasına çıkmak üzere olan ve bununla hiç ilgilenmeyen bir boksörün hikâyesini siyah-beyazın melankolisiyle bezeyerek anlatıyor. Bu, benzerine pek az rastlanan türden bir spor filmi. Çünkü aşk, hikâyenin bağlamındaki daha gözde meselelerden her anında rol çalıyor.

Unrest breaks out in eastern Helsinki as a Finnish family man gets hospitalized in the summer of 2015. Gangs of young people are burning down cars and public buildings, confronting the security guards and the riot police. The narrative goes backwards, towards the riots which mark the end of our movie. As the story begins, the unrest is still bubbling under, ready to explode any time. Vandalism and robbery are not uncommon in the suburbs; neither is violence towards the police and the security guards. Frustration, alienation, isolation and poverty corrode the asphalt surface of the multicultured society, otherwise relatively harmonious.

Patrolman Loyan tries to find his place in the new police department while keeping his friend Warsame, newly released from prison, on the right track.

The patrol gets down to business when they start investigating what looks like a suicide. Antero Päiviö, a professional criminal and racial bigot involved in drug trafficking, has jumped from his balcony. The man who was first pronounced dead suddenly wakes up and is taken to hospital. Loyan finds it hard to believe the man's story and decides to find out the truth at any cost. As the plot unravels, it's hard to know who to trust anymore, when Warsame seems to be up to something behind Loyan's back.

Oona (20-something) runs a small coffee shop in the heart of hipsteresque Kallio district in Helsinki. Oona’s is not really the classic entrepreneur type: she’s often late to work and throws out customers she dislikes. She’s also constantly in a state of existential crisis over what she should become and whether she’s a somebody or just a nobody. Oona’s best friend is Arttu, a 25 y.o. gay artist-dj-creator-whatever. Together they hate, love, party and cry and try to become adults.

Samu and Joona are an inseparable couple, each other's only friends. They don’t leave each other in the lurch, even if they run the risk of getting fired from school or a badge in their buttocks. In fact, the boys are so intertwined that they are willing to do anything to be together. Like breaking into the principal’s office, lapping at millionaires, escaping half-brother Mark from the grenade, or being buried alive.
