Synopsis:
Two friends, mechanic and alcoholic Reino and coffee-addict Valto who just ran away from his dominant mother, go for a drive. On the way they pick up two hitchhikers, the skinny Estonian, Tatjana, and a bigger Russian, Klavdia. Although there is a language barrier separating them, the girls become interested in the two boys. However, the clumsy and scared Valto and Reino just don’t know how to approach the girls.
