Just before the festivities Ossi suddenly disappears and goes on tour to 'make an inventory of his life'. He checks into a hotel, poses as a publishing director to lure an aspiring female novelist, next travels to bother his old mistress and her new husband with his surprise visit and obnoxious comments, then goes to see his son for the first time in 34 years just to receive an even colder treatment. Meanwhile, his equally demented wife goes looking for him with a local policeman.
Grandmother
В конце войны финская красавица встречается с немецким солдатом и, бросив дочерей-двойняшек на попечение матери, следует за ним в Германию. Бабушка, преданная коммунистка, даёт девочкам имена Владимир и Ильич (в миру — Хелена и Ирена). Между сёстрами существует особая близость, некая безмолвная связь. Но детство заканчивается сначала со смертью Сталина, а потом и самой бабушки. Оказавшись в детском доме, сестры создают свой собственный мир, закрытый для других. Спустя какое-то время мать возвращается с новым мужчиной — циркачом, отбирающим юные таланты для цирка. «Бывают два типа людей: те, у кого есть талант, — и те, кто им служит», — эту фразу-лейтмотив фильма произносит мать девочек. Ирена становится знаменитой воздушной гимнасткой, а Хелена, с детства неуклюжая, тайком постигает искусство огнеглотания. Близость между сёстрами постепенно исчезает, вплоть до полного разрыва, когда оказывается, что Ирена «похитила» единственный талант Хелены…
