A woman who witnessed the crime defends the man, and a strange complicity develops between the two.

Official selection of the Berlin International Film Festival. The International Evangelical Jury Interfilm Award. OCIC Prize of the International Catholic Film Organization. Kaurismaki's early masterpiece, an ironic portrayal of people who seek a little happiness but cannot find it. The film tells the story of Iris, a plain and unpopular girl who works in a match factory and spends her depressing days supporting her mother and her lover. The directorial direction, which uses almost no dialogue to highlight Iris's unfortunate circumstances through a chain of images, was inherited from "City Lights". This is a masterpiece of sophistication and venom from his early days. A short film, "Sad Angel" (5 min.) is included as a special feature.
