A hilarious story based on a best-selling novel by Finnish author Kari Hotakainen. The main character is the writer himself. Praised by critics but shunned by the book-buying public, he is asked by his publisher to write a self-revealing diary of his early years as a writer. Desperate attempts to find inspiration to write this hoped-for best-seller throw Hotakainen into a world of fast cars. A disagreement over the ownership of a certain Alfa Romeo 75 Twin Spark between a used car salesman, an unemployed roughneck and a writer desperately seeking fame finds resolution in a police chase broadcast live on Finnish television from the motorway; the last bastion of real men in their overly-powerful cars.
