Drifting Clouds

1996

Directed by: Aki Kaurismaki
Cast: Kati Outinen, Kari Väänänen, Elina Salo

Ultra-low-key drama about Ilona (Outinen) and Lauri (Väänänen), a waitress and taxi driver who struggle together to make ends meet after being laid off; a long series of frustrations slowly give way to a quiet tribute to the power of not giving up.
