Students film | Drama Duration 5:15

Plot summary

The film talks about escalating a small misunderstanding into a conflict where neither party speaks the other language.

Two Finnish IT-technicians work on Turku’s local megacorporation’s nuclear heating system when an Estonian construction worker starts bothering them above, on the roof. Instead of resolving the conflict, the main character decides to be crude with the Estonian man and thus insults him. The construction worker responds with likewise childishness by stealing the finnish men’s laptop and thus risks killing all three because of it.
