Two blue-collar workers navigate everyday struggles in Helsinki

The film follows the lives of Ansa and Holapa, two blue-collar workers in Helsinki facing the challenges and monotony of their everyday lives. Ansa moves from one zero-hour contract job to another, facing exploitation and surveillance in the workplace. Meanwhile, Holapa works in construction and battles with alcoholism. The movie explores their attempts to find love, moments of joy, and strategies for coping with their difficult circumstances. It showcases the everyday struggles and the small pleasures that help them get through life, from going for a drink to visiting a bar with karaoke. Against the backdrop of the Russia-Ukraine war, the film captures the characters' disinterest and detachment from the distant horrors reported on the radio. With deadpan humor and tender performances, the film depicts the realities of working-class life and highlights the desire for freedom and self-directed lives.
