Synopsis
The story of 3 women trying to gain the recognition of their relatives and others around them. It seems, though, that good intentions and diligence are never enough. As a result, each of them is constantly fighting the feeling of her own inability and inadequacy. 54-year-old Pirjo, a teacher at a special school with 4 kids of her own says, "I feel guilty if I am not helping others. I ought to learn how to think of myself sometimes." Suvi, an 18-year-old claims, "If someone praises me, I don't believe them." Ritta, who is 33 and works at the Ministry of Education, explains, "If you work well, you should be rewarded. I often requested promotion from my superiors, but was told I am not a managerial type." These women actively work for society and are truly indispensable at work and to their families - but immoderate goodness and effort are their particular fatal flaws. Being a 'good girl' involves one day answering the questions 'who am I?' and 'what do I really want out of life?'
