Overtime
YliaikaDetails
Finland prospers, but with a strict rule—citizens must leave at 70. Annastiina Kankaanrinta, a once-powerful politician, played a key role in creating the Lex 70 law, believing it would solve economic and environmental challenges. Now at her own 70th birthday, she must face her own exitus—a state-approved farewell, celebrated with elegance and precision. The event is flawless: champagne flows, cameras flash, and guests applaud her life's work. As her final moment nears, the reality sets in—her achievements will be forgotten, and there is no way out of what she set in motion.
