Every Tom, Dick and Urpo
Ei nimi miestä pahennaDetails
A letter, sent to the Finnish public radio phone-in program, hopes that in this era of #Metoo and many other well-meaning campaigns, attention would be drawn to the unpleasant phenomenon of using the name “Urpo” as a synonym for idiot. In this warm-hearted and humorous documentary, four men all called Urpo gather to reflect on the meaning and impact of their name in their lives. Will the use of Urpo still be acceptable in 2023?
