A poker-playing restaurateur and former traveling salesman befriends a group of refugees newly arrived to Finland.

Great movie, clearly one of the best of Kau’s history…and that’s a huge compliment considering the good old times are long gone for filmmakers and general art.
Refugee subject is approached effectively in a context of rising hate against them.
