Nikolaj moves to Rykkin, where his father has helped design the new satellite town.
His father is playful, a self-declared free spirit. He firmly believes that a new community
spirit will flourish in Rykkin. Nikolaj tries to make sense of life under the thumb of his
optimistic and energetic father. They're a happy little alternative family - until his
mother is suddenly killed in a traffic accident. His father spirals into self-centred grief,
and Nikolaj is left to deal with his sorrow over the loss of his mother and the
disintegration of his family. As things fall apart at home, Nikolaj is drawn to the darker
side of Rykkin. His father claws his way back from the brink, eyeing new opportunities
in his son's interest in punk rock. He applauds Nikolaj's rebellion. But how can Nikolaj
grow when his father is more of a child than he is ?

from home. As a worker, Xiong got liver disease. After he married a Vietnamese wife,

The film set in post war Sri Lanka brings us close to two characters who collide quite
accidentally and through them we experience the deep and seemingly unbridgeable
chasm that conflict almost always creates. Will love help them cross the bridge? Or will
the past continue to color the present? A man and a woman from the two ends of the
thirty year old bloody civil war in Sri Lanka discover that the color of love is blue and life
shades of grey.
