Ladies of Steel
A road movie in which age is hardly even a number. 75-year-old Inkeri has hit her husband Tapio with a frying pan and plans to bury his body in the garden. In anticipation of life in prison, there’s still some time to live – at last. Thus, Inkeri must leave now when it’s already too late. The journey through Finland is filled with charming hitchhikers, memories, and sinful dancing. When Inkeri comes across her old university writings and finds Eino, a crush from her youth, she is reminded of her dreams that were later suppressed by a patriarchal marriage. Inkeri has to make the biggest choice concerning the rest of her life, a choice between happiness and convention.
