[1] Like the novel, the film tells the story of a gravity scientist who died in 1970 and is brought back to life in 1999 after being deep-frozen in a world that has faced an eco-catastrophe.

[2] Erik Rankamaa (Paavo Piskonen), a gravity scientist who died in 1970 in his prime, is suddenly resurrected in 1999 after being deep-frozen for a long time.

During the recovery process that occurs with his awakening, Erik meets his old acquaintance, Fabian (Erkki Pajala), who works as a janitor at the institute, although the man is old and alcoholic, his wife is already dead and his daughter Helena (Marja-Leena Keski-Kuha) has leukemia caused by plutonium.

Laura and Paul's son Jan (Jani Puroranta) suffers from breathing problems and receives continuous oxygen therapy.

In addition to this, he often suggests frequent ejaculations and arranges for Maire (Armi Sillanpää), an intimate nurse, for him to use, but Erik does not feel ready for sex.

From the window of his own room, Erik sees bodies being collected from the side of the street by garbage truck, and in that connection he tries to strangle Maire, who has taken up intimate care.

He goes to Fabian's place to calm down, where he encounters Helena picking berries from a berryless bush and talking about the "promised road to happiness".

[1] The film was shot in the summer of 1980 in Helsinki, among others at Hietalahdentori, Technical University, Merikasarmi, Suvilahti's power plant and Natural History Museum.

[3][4] Nowadays, the film is considered an example of a serious social plot of Finnish sci-fi, leaning towards the destruction of humanity and the existential crisis of the individual, which is also represented by Risto Jarva's Time of Roses (1969) and Timo Humaloja's The White Dwarf (1986).
