After hitting her husband on the head with a frying pan, Inkeri, 75, flees with her two sisters, Raili and Sylvi. Their journey through Finland is filled with charming hitchhikers, memories, and sinful dancing. When Inkeri comes across her old university writings and finds Eino, a crush from her youth, she remembers her dreams that were later suppressed by a patriarchal marriage. Ultimately, Inkeri must make a huge decision, a choice between happiness and convention.

In Finnish with English subtitles.
