We follow the artist Markoolio and his mother Irma in their everyday life. When it turns out that Irma's cottage on Ingarö in the Stockholm archipelago, (which Marko bought for her so that she would be free from alcohol) is moldy, they decide to build a new one. It will be a house-builder's journey edged by their Finnish hot temper, but also a lot of laughter, pranks and unexpected meetings on the construction site.
