In this offbeat Finnish comedy-drama, woodcutter Pepe's life in an idyllic village is torn apart over a few days, but he seems fine with it all, as though he knows something no one else does.

Grand Prix winner at Cannes 2021, this Finnish-Russian tale set in the late '90s follows a student on a train from Moscow to Murmansk sharing a compartment with a gloomy miner. During this long ride, the two strangers begin to recognise something they share in common.
