Father’s Day

Identical 13-year-old twin girls don’t know who their father is. They are done listening to their mother’s fairytales about their father and want to find him.

Their search leads to Tinke. He is an alcoholic living at a Salvation Army housing unit, helped by his best and only friend Veikko. Tinke is overjoyed by the prospect of becoming a father. Saimi, the mother, wants none of this. Veikko does not know what to do. Tinke’s health is turning from bad to worse and Saimi is pleading with him to stop the inevitable encounter from happening.

Tinke is played by an amateur and an alcoholic Tomi Lindfors.
