The main character is an immigrant who loses his job and while swimming in depression, he tries to kill himself (and fails on it, too).
The movie gets great after the point where our hero hires an contract killer to kill him. Since his life is already lost (and the killer is going to kill him anytime), he begins to sink more and more into misery just when... he falls in love.
Suddenly, life isn't so bad anymore - too bad that the killer is still shadowing him and just trying to finish the contract they've made.
I just simply LOVE this movie, it is so funny and yet so good parody about all Finnish customs and traditions.
