From Finland, this unexpected comedy tells the story of Inkeri, a 75-year-old woman who kills her husband with a frying pan to the head. Expecting to be inevitably arrested, she first embarks upon a road trip with her two older sisters.
While on the road, Inkeri deals with her unique sisters and looks back on her life. At the same time, her birthday approaches and her very intense daughter, busy trying to plan a surprise party has no idea what has transpired or where her mother has gone.
As the three women make their way across Finland, there are encounters with hitchhikers, long lost loves, younger men, and lots of drinking and bickering. The three sisters played by Leena Uoltila (Inkeri, Saara Pakkasvirta (Sylvi, and Seela Sella (Raili) are wonderful fully realized characters and it is refreshing to see older characters portrayed in this way. It is a celebration of life, love and family.
