Info
Matti dreams of a family vacation in his father’s native country, Finland. He manages to get what he wants by telling a whopping lie. But once they get there, Matti, his younger brother Sami and his parents find themselves without a place to stay, no money and no car in the middle of the Finnish wasteland. Only a miracle can save them – or Uncle Jussi, who has been struggling to compete with Matti’s father his whole life. A summer movie for children that stands out for its wonderful pun... And that´s not a lie.

Emperor Rudolf II is more interested in art, beautiful women, and alchemy than in ruling. Most of all, he wants to get the elixir of youth and find the legendary Golem. As he focuses on his hobbies, the supreme courtiers, led by chamberlain Lang, join Rudolph's brother Matyas, who seeks the throne. Due to a mistaken identity, the baker Matěj Kotrba becomes the ruler; he looks very similar to the emperor, just twenty-five years younger. He will deal with the prominent courtiers, issue useful orders, and use the Golem to benefit everyone.
