Kamome Diner (2006)
Movie
Released
Sachie's Japanese diner in Helsinki has to become a place people feel able to enter before it can become a business. Rice balls and conversation give Naoko Ogigami's gentle comedy a routine around which strangers can gather. Choose it for unhurried companionship and quiet incongruity. Its Finnish setting is specific, rather than a claim that the same dishes mean the same thing everywhere.
