Plot

A married couple in Helsinki both lose their jobs and struggle to cope without losing their dignity.

Sinekatalog’s take

Aki Kaurismäki's deadpan comedy of a Helsinki couple losing their jobs is dry, tender and quietly political. Kati Outinen is wonderful, and the film finds dignity and hope amid deprivation.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
