Overview
Jane, a structured travel agent in Helsinki, lives a comfortable life with her longtime boyfriend Mikki, a struggling actor. When Mikki proposes opening their relationship to reignite lost passion, Jane reluctantly agrees to attend a sex-positive retreat. There, she meets Valma, a confident, free-spirited woman deeply rooted in the polyamorous lifestyle. Drawn to Valma’s openness and emotional clarity, Jane begins to question the limits she’s placed on love and connection. As their bond deepens, Jane finds herself navigating unfamiliar territory—desire, jealousy, and self-discovery—while her once-stable life begins to unravel. What began as an experiment in freedom becomes a profound turning point that challenges everything Jane thought she knew about relationships.
