Grandmother Helena Junkkeri (Irma Seikkula) is working on a farm that her widowed son Arttu (Jussi Jurkka) is unable to take on. Taina Raitalo (Heidi Krohn), who arrives at the house as a childminder, makes the grieving man smile again, and Artu's little sister Päivi (Maija Karhi), in turn, delights the entire Junkkeri family with her achievements.
