The story of a vulnerable artist who just wanted to entertain.
Cosmetics saleswoman Kirsi Viilonen dreams of a career as a star artist. When Kirsi meets DJ and radio journalist Paula, she decides to give in completely to her dream of becoming a singer. Despite the scorn of the male-dominated music world, Paula recognizes the star in Kirsi and together they get her a recording contract. Kikka's career takes off when her nipple is accidentally flashed on a TV show. Kikka immediately becomes a national celebrity and one of Finland's best-selling female artists.
Incredibly, Kikka! is only the fifth full-length biographical film about a woman made in Finland. Kikka!! evokes thoughts about the position of women in the male music world. It touches, makes you laugh and sometimes you feel like getting up to dance to Kikka's hits.
Kikka! is a sotry of a singer who just wanted to perform and give joy to others.
