A couple of poor gas station workers win in a lottery. The prize is not big but just enough for living a high quality life for a moment and perhaps that will bring rich ladies to them... Soon this pair of fellows start to act like two rich Americans and of course it will turn into a mess.
Leo Jokela and Tommi Rinne are fantastic as the gas station boys/ rich Americans. These guys are not the only ones bluffing in the movie. Good acting, funny script and nice views.
