Plot.

Valtteri and Sepe, two ordinary white-collar guys from southern Finland drive up north to implement a plan they've been hatching for months. Because they simply love the taste of lamb, baked "robber-style" in a hole dug under a campfire, they forge their car's number plates and other important documents just to be able to poach sheep grazing on the roadside without getting caught. Lots of man talk around the campfire, aided by lots of booze. The summer may be wet, but the vodka is definitely dry.

Wiki.

Lampaansyöjät (The Sheep Eaters) is a 1972 Finnish comedy-drama film written, produced and directed by Seppo Huunonen. Based on the 1970 novel The Sheep Eaters by Veikko Huovinen, it tells the story of two men who decide to execute "Operation Sheep Eaters" they had planned during the winter, with the intention of spending their summer vacation in the countryside, hunting sheep and roasting them for "robber's roast". The film both parodies and admires the traditional Finnish man's longing for freedom from the dreary everyday life. The film stars Heikki Kinnunen and Leo Lastumäki.

Huunonen won the Jussi Award for Best Producer for the film. Like the original novel, the film adaptation increased the recognition of the "robber's roast" recipe.
