What it’s about. After a mixup at the check-in, Aimo Niemi boards a charter plane bound for the sunny island of Rhodes, Greece, instead of the Innsbruck Winter Olympics he's packed for. It's the early days of package tourism, and he is too shy and clueless to really sort out any of his problems — a suitcase filled with women's clothes, a flirtatious female roommate, and no money to buy food since he was prepared for full room & board in Austria.
Who’s in it. Olympian Holiday stars Antti Litja as Aimo Niemi, Tuula Nyman as Marjukka Notkola, Eija Pokkinen as Mysterious Woman and Jukka Sipilä as Jukka Keskinen, among others.
