Veijo Haukka, a mechanic, earns a little extra money by euthanizing sick animals. One day he decides to spare a dog and give it shelter.

Finn Teemu Nikki isn’t a beginner : before this dark and disenchanted film, he gave us many short films (Verhon takaa, Kaveri, Fantasy), all commended in prestigious festivals, and also his rom-com geek #lovemilla series, recently successfully adapted as a feature film and again the recipient of many awards. It’s a safe bet to say that this Euthanizer, revealing Nikki’s eclectic savoir-faire, will finally impose him internationally.
