Helsinki is for lovers!

In Finnish filmmaker Selma Vilhunen’s latest film, a middle-aged couple on the verge of a breakup decide to open up their relationship and enter the complex world of polyamory.

What follows is a fascinating balance of hilarious, touching, and all too human feelings.

Juulia is a successful Member of the Parliament with a seemingly perfect marriage with her priest husband Matias.

But when Juulia finds out Matias has had a year-long affair with Enni, she collapses.

To save her marriage, Juulia invites Enni to be a part of their lives, and they start a polyamorous relationship.

When Juulia explores the new rules, she falls in love with young Miska, who seems to be the most mature of the quartet.

There is a lot of love in the relationships among the four, but no matter how hard they try, challenges seem to remain.

Four Little Adults is a unique, modern story about the limits of love and grown-ups with growing pains.
