"Tää kahvi on ihan raunioina."

@MyThanatos which means???

[MyThanatos]

@PAOK666 My english isn't that good but I'd say it is something like "This coffee is all ruined." Though, the meaning might be sligthly different in a way that really is too hard to explane.

[PAOK666]

@MyThanatos I see. And how is this related to the video? I mean, is it a lyric in the song? I thought you were greek because although you know finnish, your username seems to be greek. (thanatos is a greek word)

@PAOK666 this character drinks coffee throughout the film - it is coffee which precipitates his adventure /fantasy as he argues with his wife over it having run out. He pretty much drinks coffee constantly while his pal drinks vodka (Koskenkorva?) to amusing effect. This is a fantastically beautiful film. I love Kati Outinen! The cinematography frames these stark nostalgic, sad scenes and yet the dialogue and actions are humour-filled, distilling a wondrously toned richness to the movie.

@TheBirdBrothers I totally agree with you!

One of the best films ever made, period.
