Licentious years of youth have been overtaken by middle-class convention when a group of hipster-clad friends from long ago arrange a surprise party for Mitzi in an imposingly beautiful house on the beach. But during the celebration more and more feelings from the past well up, and when Veronika  brings a Swedish Hollywood export to the party, he has a hard time grasping how all the old friends’ crisis-ridden relationships fit together. After directing a number of short films that garnered attention, Jenni Toivoniemi makes a feature film debut as director with a spot-on comedy about society for the twenties. (Göteborg Film Festival)
