...could have been part of YLE Teema's Jack Nicholson cavalcade -- on the occasion of his 70th, 75th, 80th? birthday -- where the protagonist was at an airport. (LAX, I think -- the one with the "cross-shaped hollow dome" over the control tower?)

"What the HELL is wrong with this???", I was thinking -- until it struck me, what was "wrong" was that the environment was so restful. Lounges and corridors and waiting areas... All without commercial posters, you could actually _see the walls!_ Lovely light pastel shades they were, too; and nary a noisy food or other concession in sight. Not to mention, no blaring screens everywhere.

Wow, and to think that that was in living memory!

(Well, not for much longer...)
