Beautiful, interesting, incredible cinema.
After meeting unexpectedly at the hospital, three old friends head to a karaoke bar, where they contemplate their failures and, in the process, learn a lot about one another — and themselves.
Among the Kaurismäki siblings, Mika may not be the most well-known, but he’s still forged a distinct and idiosyncratic path, as this dark comedy proves. A wonderfully existential bitterness runs alongside his acerbic sense of humor, while tackling the ennui of middle age, despair, and karaoke.
