After an encounter at a hotdog stand, a young, directionless woman, Aurora, and an Iranian asylum seeker, Damian, devise a plot to find a Finnish bride in order to gain asylum for himself and his young daughter. As they seek out the perfect candidate, Aurora develops feelings that complicate both her fear of commitment and her future plans to move to Norway.
As someone who isn't the biggest fan of Romance movies, this film really surprised me. On its surface, this film is a classic opposites attract love story. However, the film's performances, comedy, and plot really sets it apart from other Romantic Comedies. Not only was the plot unique, but the characters were believable, enthralling, and likable. Though lighthearted, the film takes on important issues, such as immigration and racism, with intelligence and sympathy.
