Siiri has a passion for fashionable hats, which becomes a point of contention between her and her husband, Tuure, who is concerned about their limited finances. Throughout the conversation, we witness their playful banter evolve into deeper discussions about their life together, highlighting undercurrents of anxiety regarding their economic situation. The arrival of Siiri's friend Agnes adds further tension, as underlying issues come to the forefront.
