Anna (Niina Lahtinen) has a zest for life and longs for her engineer partner Mikko (Joonas Nordman) to be more playful and inject some fresh energy into their relationship, which has fallen into a rut. Mikko, a Finnish man through and through, believes it makes more sense to be the steady, sensible adult.

The story begins when Anna, hungry for love and adventure, is disappointed one last time by her partner’s reluctance and bone-dry, cutting sarcasm. She decides to end the relationship.

Their virile neighbours (Emilia Sinisalo and Jarkko Pajunen) want to help their friends save their relationship, so they all head off to a couples’ boot camp run by elite military instructors. What kind of hero is the ultra-macho drill instructor (Sauli Suonpää)? And what kind of mess will Mikko land himself in when, on the one hand, he wants to save his relationship but, on the other, cannot stand push-ups or war games?

Naturally, the mother of one of the participants (Sanna Saarijärvi) cannot resist getting involved, and eventually even the police (Helena Haaranen) turn up. Expect razor-sharp farce from some of Finland’s funniest actors, with high-speed action and sweat, explosions, rage and romance.

The award-winning comedy creators behind Siskonpeti—actors and writers Niina Lahtinen and Joonas Nordman—have joined forces with director Anna Dahlman to create a hysterically funny new comedy about relationships.
