🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs a classic detective puzzle, relying on the atmosphere of Finnish noir and the intertwining of several plotlines. It blends a investigator's personal drama with criminal showdowns and even dark humor, embodied by the feline companion.

What lingers after the viewing is a grim but dynamic journey through the criminal underbelly of Turku, where every character harbors secrets, and the finale hits its mark. — MovieFinder Editorial
