Tellu and Juhani, two ailing old people, take part in an experimental gene therapy that reverses the ageing process in their bodies and causes them to become younger. Hanna Västinsalo's feature debut tells a compelling but slow and long science fiction story that raises some interesting questions. While Juhani struggles with the consequences of the procedure, his grown-up daughter is now the same age as he, Tellu is ready to go all the way, in the vein of The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.
