Die andere Seite der Hoffnung (2017)
Der junge Syrer Khaled immigriert als blinder Passagier in die finnische Hauptstadt Helsinki. Dort beantragt er Asyl, ist aber skeptisch, was die Erfolgsaussichten des Antrags angeht. Als sein Asylgesuch wie erwartet abgelehnt wird, reist Khaled jedoch nicht in seine kriegsgebeutelte Heimat zurück, sondern bleibt ganz einfach illegal in Finnland. Eines Tages trifft er so auf den ehemaligen fliegenden Händler Wikström, der kürzlich sein Geschäft aufgegeben und seine Frau verlassen hat und nun Besitzer eines Restaurants ist. Wikström stellt Khaled als Putzkraft und Tellerwäscher an und für eine Weile scheint alles gut zu sein. Doch schon bald droht die harte Realität den beiden Männern einen Strich durch die Rechnung zu machen…
Der Regisseur: Aki Kaurismäki
