This is probably the first Finnish movie I watched (fortunately, there is no second half of the sentence "and the last one"), and Aki managed to gain an audience from the northern hemisphere. The film is very stylized. It was originally a particularly heavy and depressing topic of couples being laid off, but it was neutralized by the actors' puppet-like performances, dramatic lines, and dark humorous plot settings.
work to earn a living? It's impossible to work part-time! Wait a minute, have to see where are you first? !
A 38-year-old person running the hall is logically similar to a 38-year-old toll booth, but you see, they live in a sparsely populated Finland, and there is a shortage of labor. Even in the era of the Great Depression, it is still possible to get a counterattack script. Workers turn over and become masters.
On the one hand, she had to endure rejection from her new employer, and on the other hand she had to face the fact that her husband was also unemployed. The screenwriter didn't plan to give a good card at the beginning, and the road to re-employment was full of thorns that made her run into the wall many times, such as gender discrimination, workplace PUA, boss running away, salary arrears, etc.
But there is still hope in her life, hope is the red dress she often wears even when she is down and down, the bouquet of flowers her husband brings home from time to time, and the nobles of former colleagues and former employers.
Even if it's just a movie, this kind of inspirational story of migrant workers looking for something and finally starting their own business, not only did not lose their job, but also flourished and made a contribution to the country's GDP. It is indeed like a bowl of soup in the life of social animals. Lights and a gust of wind, although they will not bring about changes like huge waves, are enough to make people who live seriously still retain their love for life.
