Oliver, 11, loses his parents in a car accident and refuses to mourn. Instead, he starts investigating the cause of the accident. He meets Joonas, an alarm system salesman, and an unexpected friendship sparks. Oliver also gets to know two extraordinary older men, Jaakko and Rafu, who run an old cinema. Despite the film starting off on tragic note, it is a warmhearted survival story full of quick twists and turns. It shows that life goes on, even if sometimes the going gets tough.
