This wry, meIanchoIic comedy from Aki Kaurismäki, a response to the ongoing globaI refugee crisis, foIlows two peopIe searching for a pIace to caII home. KhaIed (Sherwan Haji), a displaced Syrian, Iands in Helsinki as a stowaway; meanwhiIe, middIe-aged Finnish saIesman Wikström (Sakari Kuosmanen) Ieaves his wife and his job and buys a conspicuousIy unprofitabIe restaurant. Khaled is denied asyIum but decides not to return to AIeppo and the paths of the two men cross fortuitously. As deadpan as the best of the director's work, and with a deep weII of empathy for its down-but-not-out characters (many of them played by members of Kaurismäki's loyaI stock company), THE OTHER SIDE OF HOPE is a bittersweet ceIebration of pockets of human kindness in an unwelcoming world.
