A man travels to Helsinki in search of work, gets mugged, loses his memory, and has to start anew. He finds love, and is forced to discover values with which he will not be ashamed to live. A small story about people who still know how to be gentle, yet an enormous cinematic experience. Kaurismaki gives humanity, humor and endless resilience to a precious cast of characters in this finely balanced, respectful and playful ode to people who live in dignity with their fellow travelers.
