A man – with the help of a hare – realises what’s important in life.

Young advertising executive Vatanen quits his job and his whole life in Helsinki, and decides to spend a while in the Finnish wilderness. A wounded hare, hit by a car, becomes his travel companion. Together, they find reclusion in the Finnish Lapland, soon to be disturbed by a noisy group of foreign tourists and their pretentious Finnish hosts.

When the hare gets ill and needs to see a vet, Vatanen must return to the city, and finally face the choice between his new and former life.
