Play :: Olga is as old as the world changing around her. She's alone now, hoarding her belongings and wishing she could visit her home in the country for the last time. But one day a young man comes into her life and changes it forever. Everything's disposable to Rundis, especially women. When he meets a crazy old lady who keeps junk mail under lock and key and rants about the past, he's irritated, then interested, then fascinated. Can their love survive the differences between them? Olga is a mad-cap race through modern Finland, exploring how the past has impacted a divided country through the unforgettable romance between a strong willed, unconventional old woman and an unprincipled young man.
