Nikander, a rubbish collector and would-be entrepreneur, finds his plans for success dashed when his business associate dies. One evening, he meets Ilona, a down-on-her-luck cashier, in a local supermarket. Falteringly, a bond begins to develop between them.
A failed entrepreneur and a struggling cashier find an unlikely connection amidst the quiet, mundane rhythms of everyday life. This quirky Finnish gem finds profound beauty in the small, awkward moments shared between two lonely souls.
