Plot
Aurora flees the morning after a one-night stand and returns to the home of her alcoholic father Reijo. A repossessor arrives to take pictures of the place, stating they were informed about the eviction months ago. Her father is in denial; Aurora wants to take flowers to her mother's grave for her birthday. She takes him to rehabilitation for another 90-day stay. Meanwhile, Darian struggles to accommodate his young daughter Azar at a refugee facility not meant for children. A sympathetic employee, Tiina, takes them to her home, although her husband Juha objects.
Facing possible homelessness, Aurora enjoys a wild night out with her best friend and colleague Kinky. They consider possible money-making schemes — Aurora settling on giving colonics in Norway. Darian considers possible methods to get asylum; Tiina suggests he finds a spouse. When Tiina realises she has forgotten her anniversary with Juha, Darian offers to go for a walk to give them some privacy. Aurora and Darian run into each other a hot dog stand. Darian is short 50 cents, and an intoxicated Aurora spots him the cash. They get to talking; he shares he is considering killing himself to help get his daughter's residency secured.
Aurora gets a temporary job supervising the cranky elderly woman Liisa. Meanwhile, Kinky is angry to learn that Aurora drunkenly applied for a loan so they can move to Norway. Aurora sees Darian again at the hot dog stand. He offers her 3000 EUR if she will help find him a wife. She turns him down and leaves.
She runs into him again at the grocery store — this time seeing him with his daughter. The trio get a meal together; Aurora agrees to help him and gives him some unsolicited dating advice. Kinky later suggests that Aurora may be interested in Darian, which she denies. Aurora introduces Darian to Liisa, who shares she is also a refugee, from Karelia. Liisa offers up a potential wife in her lesbian friend, who faces judgement from the other old women. Everyone gets dressed up, but the woman dies on the way to the wedding. Aurora sets him up on more dates, each worse than the last. He thanks her, and the two share an awkward good-night. Juha takes Darian out winter swimming. They bond over jokes around the fire.
Aurora's father is hospitalised, and she calls Darian for emotional support. They get into bed together, kiss, and have sex. Darian and Azar celebrate Christmas with Tiina, Juha, and their children. Overwhelmed, Aurora blacks out on a night out and wakes up in the hospital, having had her stomach pumped. The hospital worker gives her a phone number for help with substance abuse but she insists she is fine and leaves. Darian is interviewed by immigration about his relationship with Aurora, where he confesses his love for her. Afterwards, he throws up and returns home to commiserate with Juha.
Aurora accepts she has a problem, entering rehab and joining a support group for alcoholics. After getting sober, she drives to reunite with Darian and Azar.
