Directed by: Rike Jokela
Genres: Comedy, Drama
Starring: Tuulia Eloranta, Samuel Kujala, Tommi Korpela

Overview: Exhausted by odd jobs and a lack of money, Siru manages to lie her way into becoming a fake doctor by a series of misunderstandings. Her new relationship with lawyer Niko is hopefully true, although it seems that not only Siru but several of her close friends are also lying. Some of them even lie for a living.
