A fragile and vulnerable young boy, Simo has one last day he can spend with his older brother before the latter goes to prison. During this day spent together in the streets of Helsinki, Simo will witness incidents he never saw before. His perception of life will change and he will become aware of his true identity. Set in the city’s suburb, the film creates a poetic effect through its black-and-white cinematography and three-act structure.
