The principal character of the movie is 14 years old Juhani (played by Niilo Syväoja), haunted and oppressed by a traumatic childhood experience. After being bounced between foster homes and temporary families for six years, Juhani ends up in a Boys' Home, The Island. The place is run under the laws and regulations of the superintendent, Olavi Harjula (Tommi Korpela), who is ruthless in his administration. Besides the seven boys and Harjula, the only other inhabitants of the Island are the superintendent's wife Irene (Kristiina Halttu) and their two daughters, along with Tyyne (Kati Outinen), who's in charge of the livestock and the catering.
