This man M (played by Markku Peltola) is an amnesiac homeless person, without a name or a past. Due to his amnesia, he cannot obtain proper identification, making it impossible for him to find shelter or work. A shrewd security guard rents out abandoned containers to the homeless as residences, collecting rent, and the man moves in. Here, various people who share the same suffering yet have kind hearts cast a warm ray of sunshine into the man's life. He also receives generous help from a girl at the shelter, Emma (played by Kati Outinen), and their love quietly begins to blossom amidst the days of hardship. The man seems to be able to start over, but unexpectedly becomes involved in a bank robbery. The police investigation not only puts the man in a difficult position but also reveals to him his identity and the family he once had. He finds his wife but doesn't know how to choose between the past that has already faded and the present reality.
