Risto Räppääjä ja polkupyörävaras

The sequel to the successful Finnish children's film "Ricky Rapper" (NFL 2008) is just as brightly coloured and musically elated – and even a tad chirpier than its predecessor. This time Ricky and his girlfriend Nelly have to face a bicycle thief. As soon as Ricky's aunt Serena and her admirer, the quirky neighbour Lennart Linberg, have embarked on a vacation trip, Ricky's new bike is stolen! It marks the beginning of a turbulent chase that will soon include Aunt Serena and Lennart – as well as Aunt Fanny, who is once again called in to look after Ricky. As soon as the grim, old rock'n'roll dragon has noticed that Ricky and Nelly have gone, Aunt Fanny swings herself onto her cabin scooter and follows them. As its predecessor "Ricky Rapper", this entertaining children's crime thriller is an elated musical with interludes of varying musical styles. This time, it even includes some "Indian" song-and-dance routines. Great fun!
