Summary

The second installment of Finnish director Aki Kaurismäki?s Finland trilogy. When a laborer arrives in Helsinki in search of a job, he gets severely beaten in a local park by a group of thugs instead. He miraculously survives, but amnesia prevents him from remembering anything, including his name. Soon, a Salvation Army worker develops a shy interest in him, and a sweet, natural romance begins between the two. But just as the man?s life starts to make sense again, his past suddenly returns to haunt him.
