- Synopsis:
When Master Cheng (Pak Hon Chu) arrives at the small café in a remote Finnish village, he is looking for something - or somebody - but nobody knows what. Unable to speak the language, he manages a few words of conversation with the locals using English, but all in vain. Taking pity on him, the owner, Sirkka (Anna-Maija Tuokko) finds a place where he and his young son Nunjo (Lucas Hsuan) can stay, and s begins what will be a transformative experience for all involved. Who is the mysterious stranger? Given that he can't easily explain himself, rumours about in the village. Is he on the run from somewhere? Is the boy really his son? His smallest actions are analysed in detail by people who have nothing better to do. But this is not an unfriendly place. The first time he volunteers his services as a cook, whipping up some noodles for a group of tourists who are unimpressed by the largely sausage-based local fare, one of the locals mutters disparagingly "No heterosexual white man would eat this!" Just one taste, though, and everything changes. - Actors:
