Synopsis:

The Liar:
A long short film of the fate of incurable liar Ville Alfa, memorably played by Aki. The film is loaded with a variety of references to literature and cinema, eg. Sergei Eisenstein's Bronenosets Potyomkin (Battleship Potemkin) and Jean-Luc Godard's Vivre sa vie (My Life to Live). The film has not lost a bit of its charm and wit, even after almost two decades since its making.

Jackpot 2:
A short film where three young people, two boys and a girl, meet on a Friday evening in an urban post-disaster setting which has brought Helsinki to ruins. The boys' sole purpose of life is to play a Flip-Flop pinball machine.
