I Smell a Mouse

Täällä haisee hiiri

Details

It is Iiti’s (28) moving day. Her life is a mess: recent divorce from the child’s father troubles her, but a new, slightly weird boyfriend is already lying on her sofa. What has she done? On top of all that there’s some nightmarish mice running around in her new apartment. It’s like a universe’s sign of bad choices. However, those nasty creatures lead Iiti to face a crazy coincidence that guides her forward in life.
