A timeless, stark, black-and-white landscape, ruthless to its inhabitant, sets the stage for the cosmic pain of separation. Right at the start, Mira Luoti’s sullen modern Dulcinea announces that she has found another man, and the jilted wanderer (Toni “Protoni” Järvinen) sinks into a blurry in-between zone that rings in the ears and bends the broken mind. He finds a shellfish-allergic contract killer as his companion/squire, and it soon becomes clear that righting past wrongs will essentially be about building a new stripper pole.
