[Credits] [Tickets & Termine] [Trailer]

FALLEN LEAVES tells the sto­ry of two lonely peo­p­le (Alma Pöysti and Jussi Vatanen) who meet each other by chan­ce in the Helsinki night and try to find the first, only, and ulti­ma­te love of their lives. Their path towards this hono­ura­ble goal is clou­ded by the man’s alco­ho­lism, lost pho­ne num­bers, not kno­wing each other’s names or addres­ses, and life’s gene­ral ten­den­cy to place obs­ta­cles in the way of tho­se see­king their happiness.

This gent­le tra­gi­co­me­dy, pre­vious­ly thought to be lost, is the fourth part of Aki Kaurismäki’s working-class tri­lo­gy (Shadows in Paradise, Ariel, and The Match Factory Girl).
