A Patriotic Man is a film from Finland that portrays Toivo, a factory worker recently out of work who is presented with a unique opportunity to support the Finnish Olympic ski team. Exploring the hidden world of performance enhancing drugs and doping in worldwide competitive sports, A Patriotic Man is a humorous take on the topic. The character of Toivo is likable and endearing, but you know that things are headed in a bad direction.
