My dad was a Finn and while I was born here in Lithuania,all through his life till his death when I was 11 he always said he missed Finland and always felt like he belonged there cause of how the place looked and its people being like him (in behavior and looks). I've always been so curious about Finland cause I am my dad's exact copy and I don't feel like I belong here either. Watching this feels like exploring it + being closer with my dad + AND memes all together and it feels like being given a home to explore I never thought I had.
