| Plot: | Ida is a woman who was adopted to Finland from Africa as a child. Ida is an unemployed seamstress approaching her thirties and still lives at home with her activist mother Kati. Kati wants to fix her daughter's life and offers her a job at her work. Encouraged by her new friend Ville, Ida, however, sets out for Berlin in order to find a job and to prove to her mother that she can manage on her own. Meanwhile, Kati has been told that she is seriously ill, but she does not want to mention it to Ida in fear of standing in the way of her daughter's struggle for independence. Ida wants to have a life of her own, but what will she have left at the end of the day? |

Quotes
|
Ida: How can you say anything bad about herrings? They haven't done anything wrong. Their life is difficult but they have their dignity. They just quietly do what it is that they do. Minding their own business. They're modest, good quality and seriously underestimated. Anita: We've met once as kids. Ida: Yeah, you ate my lipbalm. Anita: You chopped off half my hair. Ida: That's why. |
