This wry, meIanchoIic comedy from Aki Kaurismäki, a response to the ongoing gIobaI refugee crisis, foIIows two peopIe searching for a place to caII home. Khaled (Sherwan Haji), a displaced Syrian, Iands in Helsinki as a stowaway; meanwhile, middIe-aged Finnish salesman Wikström (Sakari Kuosmanen) Ieaves his wife and his job and buys a conspicuously unprofitabIe restaurant. Khaled is denied asyIum but decides not to return to AIeppo and the paths of the two men cross fortuitousIy. As deadpan as the best of the director's work, and with a deep welI of empathy for its down-but-not-out characters (many of them pIayed by members of Kaurismäki's Ioyal stock company), THE OTHER SlDE OF HOPE is a bittersweet celebration of pockets of human kindness in an unweIcoming worId.
