A curmudgeon is a man from the past. He knows it's gotten better and it won't get better. He shuts himself off from everything modern because for him the world ended in 1953. Only a painful accident drives him out of his shell. Having to attend physiotherapy in Helsinki means a series of unpleasant episodes for the old man - like driving a car driven by a woman, or meeting his son, to whom he has never been very close. In short, the curmudgeon is in for one big cranky weekend. And as usual, he'll make sure everyone else is hot too.
