For their entire lives, Otto, Matti, Ilkka and Eero Takkunen have been under the thumb of their tyrannical father who suffers from paranoid schizophrenia. Drawing inspiration from the Holy Bible the despotic father raises his children under unrelenting cruelty. The boys are used to getting more empathy from the animals on their farm than from the rest of society. Their home has no electricity and they survive on charity, but they never resort to violence. When their father is put away into a mental institution, the boys make ends meet by robbing slot machines. They get by, but hunger for more, and soon start robbing unmanned gas stations. Their greatest desire - to be like everyone else - is finally within their reach, but there are many obstacles on the road to acceptance. (official distributor synopsis)
