Kalle draws on his theatre background

Kalle listens to the entire song, and informs Pilvi that he will develop a character who has resided in Las Palmas for some time. He even goes so far as to rub watercolour paints on his face, and in his hair, to give his character a more sunburned look. He insists that he’s not making a karaoke video, but rather a documentary about “the mindscape of a travelling Finnish man”. Kalle’s video is set against a beach bar backdrop, where he takes several shots from a tray of drinks, then lip-syncs the song. Jaakko awards everyone first place, but also awards Kalle 3 bonus points for trusting in his own charisma enough to be alone in his video.
