Description was written before the event

Specialist nurse Inka (Laura Birn) works under demanding conditions while balancing her own family life. Leni (Oona Airola) and Karinin (Jussi Vatanen) are shaken when their newborn suddenly needs intensive care - and amid the uncertainty, Leni finds support in Inka.

At the same time, nurses are planning a strike for better working conditions, and Inka faces difficult decisions. Both women act from love and duty, but making the right choice is not simple when their own lives and those of others hang in the balance.

Ticket price 12 €. More information: Joutsan Kino, [email protected], 040 358 4539.
