The film begins as three 20-year-old boys spend their last night in the army's uncomfortable beds. Their school education and military training now behind them, they are ready to challenge what lies ahead. Let loose into a world no longer governed by parental or military constraints, and where they must now make their own decisions, they experience life at a fever pitch. However, the fun is not to last, and Juuso, Lauri and Pyry also must face the daily grind. Their roads diverge from iron works to oil rigs to agriculture school as they try to attain success in a demanding world. Running from one thing to another their paths cross again. Where has each been, and where can he go from here?
