Synopsis

After meeting unexpectedly at the hospital, three old friends head to a karaoke bar, where they contemplate their failures and, in the process, learn a lot about one another — and themselves. Matti has a baby on the way but seriously doubts his abilities as a father. Erkki regrets his lost relationship with his young son but remains worried about his own health. And Rauno hopes to reunite with his older son, who is now in his 20s.
