Displaced Syrian Khaled (Sherwan Haji) lands in Helsinki as a stowaway; meanwhile, middle-aged salesman Wikstr\u00c3\u00b6m (Sakari Kuosmanen) leaves behind his wife and job and buys a conspicuously unprofitable seafood restaurant. After Khaled is denied asylum, he decides not to return to Aleppo&mdash;and the paths of the two men cross fortuitously. As deadpan as the best of the director's work, and with a deep well of empathy for its down-but-not-out characters (many of them played by members of Kaurism\u00c3\u00a4ki's ever-reliable stock company), The Other Side of Hope is a bittersweet tale of human kindness in the face of official indifference.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p> <em>[source: <a HREF=\"https:\/\/eastman.org\/event\/film-screenings\/other-side-hope-0\">George Eastman Museum<\/a>, 2018-Feb-26]<\/em> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Dryden will screen Toivon tuolla puolen (The Other Side of Hope, Aki Kaurism\u00c3\u00a4ki, Finland\/Germany 2017, 98 min., 35mm, Finnish, Arabic, Swedish w\/subtitles).
