Jaakko is blind and disabled and uses a wheelchair. The brightest moment of his day is the phone conversation with Sirpa, a woman he’s met on-line. When Sirpa gets difficult news, Jaakko decides he must go to her immediately, even if none of his usual caretakers can accompany him. What could go wrong?

Teemu Nikki wrote this unique romantic thriller - smart and funny and entirely original - for actor Petri Poikolainen, who has MS and is himself blind and disabled. The film has been wowing audiences around the world, winning numerous awards, including the Audience Award at the 2021 Venice Festival.
