A very good short film that tells a story about a girls' night out. Saara, a thirty something woman living in a working class suburb of Helsinki goes for a night out with a friend. Meantime her teenager daughter has an ad hoc home party her own with her friends.

The film has quite a few insights into the some of the aspects of lives of both teenagers and their mothers in Finland of today. These are presented in quite a funny way but it makes the viewer sometimes feel ashamed for the characters.

The film draws quite interesting parallels of the lives and behavior of the mother and daughter. They seem to have same problems, and they both are equally insecure with their relationships. They both also seem to be unhappy with their age and try to live a life of a 20 year olds'. It is quite sad but seems all too common nowadays.
