Breaking up is hard to do. Staying together is even harder.

Family councellor Juhani  has trouble dealing with his own family matters: his marriage with Tuula is falling apart. Juhani and his business trainer wife Tuula decide to divorce in a civilized manner and move to separate addresses after selling their common house. But when Tuula invites her one night stand, Marco, to the house and Juhani takes revenge on her by hiring a prostitute, Nina, from his half-brother and a pimp, Wolffi, to play his new girlfriend in order to force Tuula to leave the house, the box of pandora of their marriage flies open and releases the plagues of love and hate.
