Van Hamilton’s first ever trip to his mother’s homeland, Finland, takes a wrong turn as soon as he gets off the plane. The 23-year-old rich kid from California was supposed to have a five-star holiday with his girlfriend Rachel. Instead, he is handcuffed and sent to faraway army barracks to be trained as a commando.
Perfect Commando is a raunchy fish-out-of-water comedy about two young people pushed out of their comfort zones. Van, who has always been all about individualism, is forced to learn to work as part of a team. Rachel, on the other hand, thought she knew everything about the Nordic welfare system, but now she gets to see in practice what it’s like to be poor in the “best country in the world”.
