DIRECTOR: ALEKSI SALMENPERä
FINLAND
Juha is a caring husband and father. He's trying to keep his family together, although they don't know he's been laid off and money is getting tight. While he is trying his hand at odd jobs, a female client asks for a service he hadn't considered. When he confides in his friend Olli, rather than being shocked, Olli offers to find and manage clients for Juha. Maybe, if he can cope with the demands, Juha could be a much wealthier and happier manÉ "Writer-director Aleksi Salmenperä treats his characters with dignity and compassion, finding exactly the right tone for each intimate scene. Juha's clients of course have many needs beyond the purely physical, and in understanding these Juha makes surprising personal discoveries about how he could be a better husband and father himself."—London Film Festival.
