Two country men go to borrow matches and suddenly they are doing a trip far away from home to town. Matches will be forgotten, but hey: the town is really funny place. They try to catch a pig, get married and all strange stuff. This is how people lived 19th century?

The cast is great. The best (?) Finnish comedians together!
