A wry Finnish comedy about a reclusive poet, once celebrated but now long out of print, who still possesses a sharp eye for human foibles. Accompanied by his eager young assistant, he leads a minor celebrity on a rambling tour of modest cultural venues and retirement homes, exposing awkward sexual mishaps and the poet’s peculiar charm.
