A nurse, tired of her job, does not notice that a doctor leaves for his break. This gives a patient from the psychiatric unit next door a chance to sneak into the empty office. When it is time to call in the next patient, the patient now disguised as a doctor, realises she is in a tough spot but decides to meet with the patient anyway.

Short on money, Maija turns up at her son Mikko's party uninvited. Not having seen his mother for years, Mikko is forced to welcome the new guest.
