Kuninkaanpuisto

Left unable to walk after an accident, Ari, a wealthy businessman of about forty, lives in a costly nursing home next to the King's Park. Realising that his wife is in love with another man, he begins to use his money and influence to steer other people's lives. Verna, a solitary teacher in her thirties, comes to love a child who is not hers, and becomes curious about Saara Siren, an unmarried teacher of the 1920s with a similar story. Step by step their paths cross and turn into a tense drama.
