Plot

Pekka Malmikunnas is a bankrupt, penniless man, who has managed to convince his family that he is still a CEO of a large IT company. Keeping up this facade has become something of a full-time job for him.

When Pekka’s parents Salme and Paavo come to the city for an unexpected visit, Pekka is in trouble. In order to dispel any doubts, Pekka throws his parents and his grown-up sisters a lavish dinner party. There they bump into Kimmo Hienlahti an even bigger smooth-talker, who finally makes Pekka realize his own impossible situation. But what can Pekka do, when telling the truth is now harder than ever?
