The Sammakko family – also known as the Frogs – are a tightly-knit bunch of criminals, staging late-night heists of railyards for whatever they can get. Aleksanteri, the youngest son, develops a conscience, and dreams of a better life on his own. But the bonds of family are not so easily severed. Mika Kaurismäki forsakes his usual Helsinki settings for a more pastoral environment, giving his unusual coming-of-age tale an earthy, surreal atmosphere.
