What happens when Dorit loses her job, family, and home?

Dorit from Helsinki has had enough of her work at a TV production company. The stale lafka is left behind, only a genuine Queen Elizabeth jubilee mug is taken with her. However, the intoxication of freedom is diluted when the father with a memory disorder has to go to the emergency room.

A new point of reference for life is offered by watching a ceramics-themed TV show. Dorit gets into clay work – big – and gets the idea of her own ceramics studio. And what happens to marriage when the love of your youth is found in the stairwell and your spouse has become a lean lycra man?

The opening of the new entertainment star’s series tells an addictive story about the life changes of a woman in her forties.
