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. (texto oficial de la distribuidora)

I must say the Finns surprised me a lot with this movie. Not only because it presents an uncompromising description of the nationalism problem in their country, but also since they managed to incorporate this story in a plot completely different from what a standard European-born viewer might imagine. And naturally, it answers these complicated questions in just as uncompromising and successful manner, which befits a proper Scandinavian movie. But it’s actually strange that a movie on this topic was made of all countries in the one that probably has the smallest problem with immigration in Europe. I think they even have more Gypsies than migrants and they take royal care of them. Nevertheless, I was surprised that when I read a Finnish newspaper once, the only article involving crime was about two Ethiopian soccer players who burgled the football club that had vouched for them.

From a movie set in the milieu of radical neo-Nazis, I didn't expect any miracles, so I was amazed at how quickly I became engrossed in the plot and anxiously watched the story unfold, knowing full well that it would end very badly. Even in the final revelation, I was completely caught off guard, for which I must commend the creators, as they delivered quite a decent adrenaline-filled cinematic experience for me. To take a breather at the most drastic scene and think everything turned out well, that really hasn't happened to me yet. (80%)
