[3] Critic Antti Lindqvist wrote in Katso (5/2000) that the director throws more sex scenes and naked women and men on the screen more than anyone since Lauri Törhönen's 1986 film The Undressing.

Ari subsequently relents and they start dating each other reaching the point where Tiina, falling in love, begins to look for commitment.

This introduction takes place as the five pre-existing companions sail to an island to celebrate the Mid-Summer Festival.

During this holiday the six have a conversation in which Hanna-Riikka states that man is nothing without belief to which Ari immediately responds: "Then that must mean I am an ape".

Meanwhile, Tiina discovers that she is pregnant and later gets a commitment from Ari to resume the relationship with the aim of being a responsible father to their child.

Late one night Ari is called to Roope's house because his heavy drinking has precipitated the breakdown of his marriage to Piia.

During one of the drinking games they usually engage in, Hanna-Rikka states that she has never climaxed during sexual intercourse prompting Riku to walk out and the two are later seen arguing.

This leads to a confrontation with Ari using the butt of Roope's former revolver to knock both Stig and Riku to the ground and he leaves the reception.

The film ends with narrating Ari's thoughts as he gets away from it all by physically distancing himself by travelling, Tiina has given birth, Ilona is lecturing while Stig and Riku have maintained their friendship.
