Fallen Leaves One night in Helsinki, two lonely people meet by chance and try to find the first, only, and ultimate love of their lives. Their path toward this noble goal is complicated by the man’s alcoholism, lost phone numbers, not knowing each other’s names or addresses, and life’s general tendency to place obstacles in the way of those seeking happiness.

He hires a Syrian refugee, whom the authorities want to send back to Aleppo, and who is looking for the sister he lost along the Balkan route. Everyone tries to help. See More
