With exuberant energy and disarming, dark humor, Miia Tervo tells a story of loneliness, everyday racism, and alcoholism in an intelligent romantic comedy that plays with prejudices and genre conventions. Aurora is a funny and complicated party girl who wants to exchange her crappy life for something better in Norway. Darian is a melancholy refugee from Iran who needs to get married fast so he and his daughter can stay in Finland. Aurora agrees to helping him, and quickly finds potential wives – some of which are even younger than 80. Mimosa Willamo puts verve and presence in the title role of stylish and charming film about the transformative power of love. (Göteborg Film Festival)
