Audience emotional responses are primarily driven by the film's unique blend of deadpan humor and understated romance. High percentages of Humor, Joy, and Happiness reflect the comedic situations arising from the clash between the taciturn Finnish men and the more expressive foreign women, often exacerbated by language barriers. Love and Hope are central to the romantic arc, even as they unfold with awkwardness and quiet longing. Empathy is felt for the characters navigating their social and emotional challenges, while a distinct sense of Melancholy underpins the film's comedic tone, characteristic of Aki Kaurismäki's style. Relief and Satisfaction come from small breakthroughs in connection and the gentle resolution of the narrative.
