Päss the punk, Remm the BMW enthusiast who spends most of his time in the garage, and Pontu, whose curiosity leans towards the furry world, form a vibrant trio of friends. They may not fit neatly in with everyone else, yet together they are inseparable — always ready to stand by one another.
Now they are preparing for a long journey to visit Remm’s girlfriend. Päss’s father gives his blessing, but sets them a challenge: they can earn a hundred euros if they leave all their smart devices at home. The boys accept, and so begins a delightfully disorderly road trip filled with close shaves and unexpected turns — from dodging gunfire to meeting a bear, with a few low spirits along the way, but twice as much laughter to make up for it. And through it all they grapple with that age-old puzzle: why are girls so difficult to figure out?
