Mika Kaurismäki's latest film is a largely improvised affair set against the backdrop of Covid pandemic, which sees three men chew the fat over the course of May Day night.
Each of the men - Heikki (Pertti Sveholm), Risto (Kari Heiskanen) and Juhani (Timo Torikka) - is introduced to us earlier in the day, an accomplished bit of, largely, visual storytelling which acts as a welcome open contrast to the bulk of the film which leans heavily on dialogue. Risto, is a doctor, who has just had bad news about a patient, Juhani, a man who has received a disturbing phone call and Juhani is busily taking matters into his own hands regarding the future of his bar, which is in Covid lockdown - in one of several sly and dry nods to the virus, a bottle of Corona advert flashes above the door.
While Heikki contemplates his next move over food.
