Synopsis: 

The film portrays the Finnish punk band Pertti Kurikan Nimipäivät created in 2009 by four mentally disabled persons. It follows their journey from rehearsal rooms to the cult success they enjoy today. It puts into images the group's love, hate, tears and laughter. Faithful to punk tradition, they play hard and heavy. Their words criticize the surrounding reality. Poverty, drugs and attitudes towards the disabled are brutally thrown in public's face. That's what punks have always been: marginalized musicians screaming at the top of their lungs about society's problems. But what happens when the outcasts want acceptance?
