Based on a true story from 1988 in Sweden, the film centers on a Finnish couple who murdered a young boy and his parents after the family intervened when they tried to steal the boy's bicycle. The story explores the evolving dynamic between Jari, a dominant man who refers to himself as "Il Capitano," and Minna, a more composed woman.
