Plot
The film is a story about the marriage of worker Juhani Vehoniemi and his wife, clerk Ritva Vehoniemi. Long commutes and constant worries about money are reflected in the everyday life of a working-class family. Juhani gets a foreman's position in Tampere, which further distances him from his own wife even more. An unfortunate accident at work drives Juhani to seek comfort from Laura, a girlfriend of Ritva's cousin Erik. Ritva begins to feel not only growing lonely, but also the suspicion that Juhani is hiding things from her.Cast
