Iris has a soul-deadening job as a quality-control worker watching boxes of matches go by on an assembly line all day. At night, she eats silently with her dour mother and stepfather. One weekend, wearing her new red dress at a local dance, she ends up going home with Aarne, whom she mistakenly believes is her new boyfriend. When she discovers that she's pregnant, years of pent-up rage explode in a shocking outburst.

"2.3. YLE Areena Tämän elokuvan ihmiset olivat mukavan vähäpuheisia. Olisipa oikeassakin elämässä niin että ihmiset pitäisivät turpansa useammin kiinni. Harvemmin kenelläkään mitään oikeaa asiaa on."

"9.1. (Yle Areena) Taas se Aki hassuttelee. Rotanmyrkky on tappavaa. Raskaana ollessa pitää hankkiutua eroon toukasta. Kommenttien kirjoittaminen on yhtä turhaa kuin listalin tissilistat. Miksi tehdä mitään, mikä ei kiinnosta. Ainakaan isäni ei osannut tehdä jäätelöä. Melkein putosin yöllä sängystä."
