> We never know with whom we will fall in love, but then again, do we ever really know ourselves?

It challenges its audience to question its own sense of tolerance and understanding.

When she meets and falls in love with Sami – soccer coach, teacher and family man – she finally feels like she can ‘fit in’ somewhere. But Sami is soon put to the test. In a world that considers Maarit a freak, Sami is forced to confront his own deeply hidden prejudices. And as for Maarit, she will have to step into her brave new world, with or without him.
