Ansa and Holappa meet, lose each other’s numbers, and try again in a Helsinki that has a radio reporting a war. Kaurismäki keeps the jokes dry and the bars small. Alma Pöysti and Jussi Vatanen play two workers who are not good at speeches and are good at showing up late. The MUBI trailer is the karaoke and the dog. The film believes a second chance can be a cinema ticket.
