Film - Foglie al vento
This event already took place. (14/05/2025)
In the Helsinki night, two lonely souls meet: a mechanic and a supermarket cashier. Both wish to get to know each other better, but a phone number scribbled on a scrap of paper is lost, and their meeting is postponed while their social situations show no sign of improvement. Especially for him, as he struggles to stop drinking. This film expresses the need to escape the bleakness of a society increasingly closed in on itself and unable to look beyond. A society ready to fire someone for taking home an expired product that would otherwise end up in the trash just as it is ready to fire a worker who gets injured on the job, using alcohol consumption as a pretext. On this theme, Kaurismäki who has never hidden his fondness for strong drink, returns repeatedly pleasure to a painful sign of existential emptiness.
