Juha Berg is a 30-year-old hopeless drunk in the Kallio neighborhood of Helsinki. Juha doesn't have the first intention of changing his way of life - just the opposite. He really enjoys sundry sexual relationships, adrenalin-inducing violence and, of course, alcohol for which he gets money even if by collecting bottles. But the hilarity in a drunken haze soon gets a run for its money as the passionate Juha falls in love with his AA group leader. The relationship with Tiina progresses quickly to dating and Juha has to make pivotal decisions. Juha has to begin balancing between maintaining a functional intimate relationship and his old lifestyle. Juha's best friend Kristian does his best to sabotage the relationship, and Juha's shaky decision to stay sober is further hindered by Mikael, an expert on German erotica. But how far can you go before there is only one solution left?

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs its comedy from the stark contrast between the protagonist's grotesque, almost caricatured existence and the sudden, sincere human emotion that disrupts it. It relies on recognizable types and situations, pushing them to absurdity while leaving room for unexpected tenderness.

What lingers after the laughter is a story with surprisingly sharp edges, posing questions about whether one can truly change for another person. The final feeling is a blend of amusement and poignant reflection. — MovieFinder Editorial
