In Helsinki, Ansa and Holappa spend their lonely days in drab workplaces, bars full of stone-faced patrons, and sparsely decorated homes. When they meet randomly, their chance of happiness together is threatened by Holappa’s dependence on alcohol. Will they find their way back to each other? Aki Kaurismäki’s new film is typically melancholic, wryly humorous, life affirming, and wonderful fun.
