It's a peaceful summer night in country. Deer eyed boy, Nokia, and other people are living their normal life. The movie tells many stories but soon comes one stronger story over the others. A fight (well, we know that the young blood can be very 'stormy') and then: a murder. How little can be done before everything changes...

This is a very profound film although it may not look like that at first.

TRIVIA: F. E. Sillanpää was a Nobel winner writer.
TRIVIA#2: Martti Katajisto, Kaisu Leppänen, Eero Roine, Valentin Vaala and Lea Joutseno won Jussi prizes from this movie (Mr. Vaala and Ms. Joutseno for their script).
