About Onnelliset leikit
A film in two episodes. The first, "Juulia", is a young woman's stylish reminiscence of her brief summer romance, set in some of the most chic design locations around Helsinki. The second episode "Tikku", a seemingly semi-improvised comedy, takes an overworked housewife, her three children and her lazy husband out of the city to spend the weekend at the mother-in-law's.
Directed by Aito Mäkinen, Esko Elstelä, Onnelliset leikit leans on a strong ensemble — Pirkko Peltonen, Riitta Elstelä, Lasse Liemola — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1964.
