Fallen Leaves is the story of two lonely people who meet by chance in the Helsinki night as they try to find the first, only, and ultimate love of their lives. Their path towards this honourable goal is clouded by the man’s alcoholism, lost phone numbers, not knowing each other’s names or addresses, life’s general tendency to place obstacles in the way of those seeking for happiness. A new delightful film by Finnish cult filmmaker Aki Kaurismaki (Le Havre, Man without a Past).
