Teppo, the central figure in a neo-Nazi group in eastern Finland, meets and immediately falls in love with SARI. The intense love story leads to them moving in together. Sari introduces Teppo to her son RHAMADHANI. Teppo has dreamt about parenthood, but Rhamadhani is half-black. Getting used to living together demands a considerable effort from both Teppo and Rhamadhani. Rhamadhani tries to kill Teppo. Teppo first overcomes his own prejudices, but still can't bring himself to making his role as the boy's father public. Rhamadhani is very apprehensive regarding Teppo. The situation becomes even more complex when Sari is bound to bed rest after a major complication during her pregnancy. Teppo has to take sole responsibility taking care of Rhamadhani. Rhamadhani is bullied and teachers are unwilling or helpless to get involved. HARRI, Teppo's neo-Nazi younger brother, is kicked out of the army and moves in to Teppo's and Rhamadhani's home without asking. Harri's prejudices are more deep-rooted than Teppo's, and he implements an Apartheid-like system in the home, in which each race has their own area. (official distributor synopsis)
