In the film, Veikko (Tommi Korpela) helps his friend Tinke (Tomi Lindfors) get by in his everyday life in a service unit. Tinke has drunk his health away, and life is being held together by humour stemming from its dark side. When the teenage twin daughters (Vilja and Varpu Rintanen) of Saimi (Laura Birn), a person from the friends’ band days, decide to find out who their father is, their search leads them to him. Saimi is determined to stop the twins from meeting Tinke by any means necessary, but Veikko, caught up in the mess, disagrees with her decision.
