Essi, in her thirties, is a single mother and a cashier at a gas station café in Vantaa, who easily loses her temper. It doesn’t help that her teenage daughter, Takku, constantly gets into trouble at school and has already changed schools several times. Takku’s new school teacher, Lasse, was infatuated with Essi when he was younger. Lasse is not an exemplary teacher and projects his own traumas onto his students. Meanwhile, middle-aged alcoholic Sakke might be Essi’s father. When Takku breaks school rules again, Essi persuades Sakke to become her daughter’s classroom assistant.
