A beautiful woman appears in front of a man who lives alone without his family or girlfriend. But his happiness is short-lived, for she is the mistress of the mafia.... The film depicts the loneliness of a man who accepts tragedy to a comical degree in a cold-hearted manner, while the faint glimmer of hope that eventually comes to light brings tears to the viewer's eyes. Houtiainen also played the protagonist's best friend in "Dead Leaves". A short film "Valimo" (4 min.) is included as a special feature.
