Koistinen is a sad sack, a man without affect or friends. He's a night-watchman in Helsinki with ideas of starting his own business, but nothing to go with those intentions. He sometimes talks a bit with a woman who runs a snack trailer near his work. Out of the blue, a young sophisticated blonde woman attaches herself to Koistinen. He thinks of her as his girlfriend, he takes her on her rounds.
A stark, melancholic portrait of profound loneliness. This film feels like a quiet, bleak Helsinki night, punctuated by moments of desperate, misguided hope. It's a study in quiet despair and the crushing weight of isolation.
