The main focus is on two mothers whose lives have taken a turn to ongoing painful territories. These ladies are so lost that they are unable to reach out for help. Inari Niemi's writing and directing explore these characters' inner pain with the necessary dare. She keeps us hooked by cleverly revealing the pains at stake often delicately between the lines only. Interestingly, a supporting role - a pain free seducer stud, brings a lot of light to the midwinter darkness. The way he plows against the stream gives us our sought after relief. Sightings of jokes, being as extinct as Santa in the summer, is a letdown. The cast being decorated with names like Martti Suosalo, and being practically woke free, -a plus.
