A whimsical, deadpan comedy-drama about a group of working-class men seeking escape and transformation through a journey across Helsinki, blending absurdist humor with genuine camaraderie.

A group of men all called Frank—except for one named Pekka—have had enough of life in their working-class neighborhood, so they set off for a better existence in the magical seaside district of Eira. But the way is long, and the group face many hurdles including stray dogs and defunct streetlights.
