| Inhalt: |
This wry, meIanchoIic comedy from Aki Kaurismäki, a response to the ongoing globaI refugee crisis, foIIows two peopIe searching for a pIace 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 unprofitable restaurant. KhaIed 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 Ioyal stock company), THE OTHER SIDE OF HOPE is a bittersweet celebration of pockets of human kindness in an unwelcoming world.
