delightfully deadpan tragicomedy about a married couple (Outinen and Väänänen) who, laid off from their respective jobs as a restaurant hostess and bus driver, wander the bleak Helsinki streets in search of new employment. 'Life is short and miserable, so let's make the most of it,' says one character, a perfect encapsulation of Kmäki's outlook. There are no great outpourings of emotion in this hangdog yet ultimately upbeat miniature, just shrugs, sighs and the odd character falling down flat on their face when the weight of life gets to be too great. Simple and sublime.
Anybody know the name of the band?
