Ari’s mother, a cloth doll designer, simply does not want to see that her children are grown-up. Ari’s older brother Jonas responds to her clinging with various psychoses. Motley-dressed Ari excessively eats the frustration into herself and gets the missing affection from sex with strange men. Oona, however, lives in a home where everything seems dark and gloomy. She is suffering from the catastrophic consequences of her parents’ broken marriage. Above all, she feels guilty about her father’s suicide. She had told him that her mother had an affair with his brother Lukas. She cannot expect any comfort from her mother Kristina.

So Oona learns from Ari how to turn her anger outward. Ari feels recognized by her friend and can gradually develop a sense of self-esteem. But then, Ari begins an affair with Lukas.
