Varpu, a 12-year-old girl, has no father and her immature mother Siru acts more like a younger sister, so her childhood is turned into adulthood by force. One night, she has enough of her riding buddies, of her mother and of making up stories to each question about her father. Varpu has a stolen car and her father’s name and decides to drive up to northern Finland to track down her biological father. An ultimate burden will change the lives of Varpu, her mother and her father forever. A fantastic road movie from an Oscar nominated director Selma Vilhunen.
