Synopsis
For 18-year-old Finnish–Kosovan Fatu, a simple visit to the grocery store feels as nerve-racking as a lunar expedition: for the first time in his life, he’s wearing makeup in public. Luckily, his best friend Rai, a young woman on the spectrum of autism, is there to ferociously support him through the voyage.
