Synopsis
Tuomas (Mikko Leppilampi) is a young computer hacker, an ex-model, who would like to do something useful, socially constructive and remarkable.Tuomas' best friend, Niko (Jasper Paakkonen), is more rock and roll than Tuomas and is leading a hedonistic life of alcohol and drugs.Elina (Pamela Tola), in her early twenties, is a bold and intelligent activist, a university student of history and the social sciences. She comes from a wealthy background.
Elina and Tuomas have been dating happily for over a year. Elina is pregnant and they plan to get married. Tuomas has long been planning a social database strike and asks Niko to take part in the operation. Niko makes a counterfeit 500-euro note, that gets into the hands of Isto Virtanen (Mikko Kouki), a worker, who runs into trouble with the law after unsuspectingly trying to pass the bill. Isto pays the wrong onward by stealing a suburban car dealer's fanciest vehicle. In his turn, the car dealer (Samuli Edelmann) pays it onward and repossesses the car belonging to a door-to-door vacuum cleaner salesman Hurskainen (Sulevi Peltola), thus putting an end to his trade. Hurskainen loses everything and hits the bottle hard, after several years of sobriety, with fatal results.
The third strand of the story revolves around Hannele (Matleena Kuusniemi), a policewoman and her husband, a teacher (Petteri Summanen). They have three children. As events and the lives of these people overlap, everyone's life changes terminally.
