Storyline
Koistinen searches the tough world for a small crack through which he could crawl in, but both his fellow beings and the faceless apparatus of the society see it their business to crush his modest hopes, one after another. Criminal elements exploit his longing for love and his position as a night watchman in a robbery they pull off, leaving Koistinen to face the consequences. As a result Koistinen loses his job, his freedom and his dreams.Festivals & Academy awards and others
