"Puntila, a rich farmer, has a split personality: when drunk, he is generous and kind; when sober, mean and selfish. Sober, Puntila wants his daughter Eva to marry a Foreign Office diplomat; drunk, he leads her to his chauffeur and drinking companion, Matti. Although Eva prefers Matti, she fails to attract him, and a party is arranged to celebrate her engagement to the diplomat. During the party Puntila gets drunk and insults the diplomat, who leaves. Puntila now wants Matti to marry Eva. Matti puts her to the test to see if she is good enough to be a proletarian's wife, but she fails to meet his requirements, and Matti leaves to join his working-class comrades."

"A group of former friends finds the same note in their lockers telling them to go to an abandoned house in the middle of the night. They show up and find themselves in the very room where their friend Dani died years ago. As they confront long-buried secrets, uninvited guests—both spectral and real—force them to face the messy, often painful realities of growing up."
