Summary
A struggling Siberian rock band leaves the lonely tundra to tour the United States because, as they're told, "they'll buy anything" there. Aki Kaurismäki's aloof farce follows the musicians as they bravely make their way across the New World, carrying a bandmate (and some beer) in a coffin and sporting hairdos that resemble unicorn horns.
