Karri has the bad luck of having a driving teacher who is also his mother. And that she smells the alcohol on his breath during a driving lesson after Finland lost against Sweden at ice hockey. - Pete's girlfriend takes an abortion pill, which the 17-year-old finds somewhat unsettling. - André must look after his younger brother. After he finally manages to put him to sleep in the evening, his mother shows up after all: drunk and in the company of a stranger. - Akseli goes hunting with his father, a former alcoholic. They haven't spoken a word in years, and on the hide, too, it is better to remain silent. - And then there is Joni, 18: He supplements his pocket money by putting on a wolf costume to delight little children, and by undressing in the evening to delight housewives.
