Why we chose it

Six years after announcing his retirement, Aki Kaurismäki came back with the fourth part of his trilogy and won the Jury Prize at Cannes. It’s a love story for people the world usually forgets: she can’t escape news of the war on the radio, he drinks on a building site, and they meet at karaoke.

Synopsis

Ansa stacks shelves in a supermarket in present-day Helsinki until she’s sacked over a sandwich past its sell-by date. Holappa works on a building site and drinks. They meet one night in a karaoke bar, but before they’ve had a chance to swap names, he’s lost her phone number.
