Trivia
Towards the end, there's a scene where Nikander's friend talks about a problematic fellow worker named Mikkonen. Matti Pellonpää, who plays Nikander here, would later play Mikkonen in Ariel (1988), the second part of the Proletariat trilogy directed by Aki Kaurismäki.

Errores
When Nikander and Ilona leave the gas station and ride down the road, they pass a white car. The white car is standing still in the middle of the road. Presumably they drove so fast that they passed the white car, but it stands still.

Citas
Nikander: Remember that chick from the supermarket? Guess where she is now?
Melartin: Where?
Nikander: Sleeping in my bed.
Melartin: Get back there then.
Nikander: I can't.
Melartin: What's keeping you?
Nikander: Horror, fear and this job.

Stand out stoic characters is nothing more but a possible backdrop to Finnish daily living

(1986) Shadows in Paradise/ Varjoja paratiisissa (In Finnish with English subtitles) DRAMA

Written and directed by Aki Kaurismäki the first of three movies of the ""Proletariat Trilogy", that introduces the odd relationship between a garbage man, Nikander (Matti Pellonpää) pursuing cashier, Ilona (Kati Outinen) at a supermarket after his friend and co-worker unexpectedly dies. As we know more about both Nikander and Ilona's daily life routines as well and the glimpse look at the customs of Finnish life, that may resort to complicated situations. Aki's purposeful stoic personalities is on purpose and it works.
