Heart surgeon Juha has lived life at an unengaged distance since his wife’s passing. And although it is often debilitating, his grief also throws up some rather surprising sexual urges. A birthday trip with his daughter leads to an unexpected but thrilling encounter with Mona, a dominatrix.

Featuring some graphic scenes, director Valkeapää teases out a twisted but sweet vein of comedy from this kinky set-up.
