One weekend, wearing her new red dress at a local dance, she ends up going home with Aarne (Vesa Vierikko), whom she mistakenly believes is her new boyfriend. Rendered in his characteristic deadpan style, a proceeding shocking event becomes sardonically funny - a gutsy move that only a real master of tone, as Kaurismäki is, could pull off. A bleakly comic masterwork of economic storytelling from Finland’s maestro director.
