Synopsis:

If 'Twin Peaks' were shot hand-held and set in the Finnish countryside, it would resemble Janne Kuusi's 'Flowers & Binding,' an offbeat black comedy whose quirky humor remains mesmerizing until the script flounders in the second half. Centered on bizarre characters at a small town sausage factory, pic's opening scenes are not for weak-stomached vegetarians. Story will probably ring more bells for local auds, although Kaurismaki regular Outi Maenpaa is eminently enjoyable.

Small town butchers and florists grow tired of local sausage factory owner. They want to teach him a lesson but things get out of hand.
