Risto (10) waits impatiently for his birthday party. The party takes place at his grandparents’ cottage and all members of Risto’s modern family are invited. All ingredients are there - a beautiful sunny day, a tree house which is almost finished and a strawberry cream cake. As the party planning progresses the tension between the adults grows. The bossy grandmother, the competition between the men and the introduction of dad’s new girlfriend slowly overshadow Risto’s birthday celebration. Even more so, when the gap between generations, prejudices and unresolved issues keep growing. Is it party time yet?
