Sad and rather tragic, but I like it., 4 maaliskuu 2004
10/10
Author: Leffa-Guru from Helsinki, Finland

Eeva-Kaarina Volanen and Lasse Pöysti put on master performances in this tragic TV-film about an old married couple.

Nelly (Volanen) and Ossi (Pöysti) are an elderly couple whose sense of reality has dimmed. Though it is not mentioned, it is likely that both suffer from Alzheimer's disease. Ossi decides to go on a travel to find his long-lost son and Nelly, wandering aimlessly, finds a good friend of the police. The film is tragi-comic and so the end cannot be a happy one, but so much happens on the way to the end that you just have to watch it until the very end- This film won the Prix D'Italia prize. It was also Eeva-Kaarina Volanen's last film.

Recommended.
