The events kick off when the urbanized Mervi takes her girlfriend Kati to the countryside to visit her parents for the first time. Mervi is worried that her parents will have a hard time accepting the couple – especially since Kati’s mother is Iranian and her father is German – but it turns out that Mervi herself has a lot more to digest once they arrive. The parents’ peculiar, open relationship, Mervi’s ex-boyfriend involved with neo-Nazis, her semi-religious godparents, and the conflicts arising from the refugees who have moved to the area don’t exactly make the visit easier.

In the year 2000, teenagers aged 12-15 rewrote the Ten Commandments of the Bible as follows:
I am a cell phone, thou shalt have no other gods.
For fuck’s sake, thou shalt not swear.
Chill the fuck out.
Respect thy folks, if you can.
Let people live.
Thou shalt not be a revolving door.
Thou shalt not steal.
Thou shalt not frame thy friend.
Is it not enough to lust after another’s room?
Open thine eyes – you have everything.
Go to the movies.
These same teenagers have created scripts for the movie “Ride for Moses”. Alongside director Kaija Juurikkala, they improvised ten different stories based on the old commandments of the Bible, which the film crew then made into a movie with them. The teenagers themselves play all the roles, for which they have also written the dialogue. An actual script was never written.
