In modern-day Helsinki, two lonely souls meet by chance in a local karaoke bar. Seeing an opportunity to find love, they each try to turn their initial spark into something more meaningful. However, the pair’s path to happiness is beset by numerous obstacles, from lost phone numbers and incorrectly noted addresses to alcoholism, via a charming stray dog.
A quietly witty script and perfectly deadpan performances from the leads ensure that this slender, unmelodramatic film is ultimately a compassionate, moving and funny tale that epitomises everything that make Kaurismäki’s films so special.
