Ansa and Holappa, two lonely people, meet by chance one night on the streets of Helsinki and try to find the first, only, and even last love of their lives. Their path to this great goal is threatened by Holappa’s alcohol addiction, lost phone numbers, and not knowing their names or addresses. But the biggest obstacle is fate’s habit of putting obstacles in the way of those who seek their happiness.
Poignant, tragic and comic in equal measure, Aki Kaurismäki’s latest film has won the Jury Prize at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival.
