There’s always room for foreign cinema in the wonderful world of films; it’s important to respect and support these films, and one of the latest comes all the way from Finland with The Other Side of Hope. Written and directed by Aki Kaurismaki, it tells the story of a poker-playing restaurateur and former traveling salesman who befriend a group of refugees newly arrived from Finland.

Admittedly, the film doesn’t look all that great; the trailer is very underwhelming. There’s not much to see, and it’s not very effective. However, it is just a trailer, and the director’s previous work seems to be well received, so hopefully the film itself is a lot better.

The Other Side of Hope doesn’t have a UK release date yet, but it’s out in Finland on February 3rd
