Salo

A small inland town of fields, forest and an empty main road, where everyone is lonely and nobody really meets. The factory manager knows the plant will shut; an immigrant father makes his Finnish-raised son put on an accent for the kebab customers; a local eccentric is said to have drowned, yet still walks the streets. Their lives interlock into a picture of the country after industry.
