Old fashioned, but very real. The parents just have to move out when the teens begin their party. Old professor (Tauno Palo) tries to do his job in his corner but his kids act like the owners of his own house. One day he wants to change this. There's also more. A love affair between the professor and one of these teens. Crisis after crisis.

TRIVIA: This is a remake. The first version was made in 1937 by Wilho Ilmari (dir.), Uuno Laakso (the professor), Ansa Ikonen and Oke Tuuri.
