Janne, a 60 year-old party organiser intending to run a nightclub during a major tennis tournament, is hanging out with his recently divorced older sister, Jackie. When an accident turns his life on its head, Janne, under pressure from those around him, embarks on a desperate search for a way out.

Certificate number	200699
Date	2012-01-20
Classification	Allowed from age 11
Grounds for decision	En man återvänder till en sommarort för att driva en verksamhet tillsammans med en partner men något går snett i sommaridyllen. Filmatiseringen innehåller en genomgående ångestladdad stämning, hot om våld med tillhygge och en allvarlig olycka som innebär ett antal utdragna scener på en död kropp vilket innebär att den bedöms kunna vara till skada för välbefinnandet hos barn under 11 år.
