The movie tells the story of Khaled, a Syrian refugee hiding on a cargo ship, and Wikström, a merchant traveler whose paths eventually cross. Although the film was released in 2017, its refugee theme remains relevant.

The film features Kaurismäki’s familiar stylistic features, such as reduced visuals, low-key characters, absurd humor, and musical numbers.
