Finland 2023, 81 min., comedy/drama
Director: Aki Kaurismäki
Finnish with English subtitles
Director Aki Kaurismäki has crafted a small, quiet, affecting story about a perhaps-romance that always seems just out of reach of its two Helsinki protagonists, two lonely souls in search of something better. From crossed paths to lost phone numbers, from mistaken addresses to the dark shadow of alcoholism … even a charming stray dog gets added to the mix. Where could it possibly end?
