But when Paula invites her one night stand, Marco, to the house and Juhani takes revenge on her by hiring a prostitute, Nina, from his half-brother and a pimp, Wolffi, to play his new girlfriend in order to force Paula to leave the house, the box of pandora of their marriage flies open and releases the plagues of love and hate.

Mika Kaurismäki has a similar style to his brother, and at times it's not clear whether you're watching a comedy or a drama. It was this duality, which works so well, that I liked. Moreover, the humor is subtle, the story is darkly humorous, the characters are interesting, and even though it's nothing groundbreaking in terms of plot - all the elements you've seen somewhere before - as a whole, it's great.
