Synopsis
Kalle, a 40-something seemingly successful IT trainer and single father, struggles with the same issues his father struggled with in the 1970s. Here, we explore a Finnish man's role in a changing world. A combination of divorce, single parenthood, and alcoholism contributed to Kalle's father's suicide. Now, Kalle is the same age as his father when he died, and he finds himself in crisis. Not wanting to end up like his dad, Kalle starts therapy and the painful process of reconciling his family's legacy in order to break free from certain problematic behavioral patterns.
