MAN AND A JUNIOR
by Tiina Lymi
synopsis
The life of Antti and Paavo Pasanen – the small family familiar from the novel and movie Man and a baby – is under control. Little Paavo is now in kindergarten age; an expert on Pokemons and toy cars – and father Antti has found the courage to trust in common sense. Enni and her daughter Terttu, important to both Pasanen boys, are in the same life situation. But their everyday life takes a new turn as Terttu surprisingly becomes a new temporary member of the family Pasanen. Little does Antti know in how many different ways the existence of a little girl can differ from the life of a little boy. Not to mention the number of shades of pink in the world… The longer-than-expected visit of Terttu is nerve-wracking – but also, it proves to be educational, even in the most unexpected ways.
