Overview
Epic tale about two generations of men in a wealthy Finnish family, spanning from the 1960s all the way through the early 1990s.

Younger Riku grows up under the shadow of his more talented big brother and slowly drifts into the late 1980s, noticing then how many of his friends have managed to take advantage of the economic upswing.
