This is a story with immigrants in Europe through the eyes of Aki - unrealistic, in fantasy-mixed temporal realities, with its peculiar Finnish humor, where the low-emotional faces of the characters already look humorous. In the film, the two main characters are salesman Wickström, selling shirts, and Syrian refugee Khaled, all over Europe looking for his sister. Wikström one day decides to make a decisive turn in his life, leaves a drinking wife, sells his business, wins at a casino and buys some stuffy restaurant. Khaled, who has not received political asylum, escapes before deportation, finding himself on the street. As usual, fate brings them together. The time is not clearly marked - then you can see the 80s, then clearly our time, a lot of Finnish music, as always. I can’t say that the film is exciting, but you watch this somewhat idealized picture and watch, although everything goes almost smoothly, with some nuances.
