Detective Lipton Cockton tries to search a woman who looks like Marilyn Monroe? The film looks a bit like Blade Runner, but... It seems to me that there's no script at all. And actors... They are so poor that I'll hope you never see this flick.

TRIVIA: When mister Halonen's movie Aleksis Kiven elämä/"The Life of Aleksis Kivi" was just arrived to theatres, the director had an interview in Joonas Hytönen Show (a talk show). Mister Halonen had a long monoloque about his methods and thoughts. The host was quiet for a long time after that and then he replied: "Wow, that sounded great - but I didn't understand a word..."
