The Worthless
Directed by Mika Kaurismäki
Produced by Villealfa Filmproductions, Jörn Donner Productions
A melancholic road movie about aimless young men fleeing danger while searching for meaning, anchored by restless energy and existential drift.
Manne, Harri, and Ville Alfa are rootless twenty-somethings in search of purpose for their banal lives. After Manne steals a priceless painting from a group of petty criminals, Manne and Harri flee from the gangsters across Finland, while Ville goes to Paris. On the road they meet Veera, an old girlfriend of Harri's, and try to avoid the gangsters in pursuit.
