Selja is in her thirties and lives in a shared flat with her friends. One day a boy appears at her door; a boy she gave up for adoption sixteen years earlier. Selja has a chance to get to know her son, but at the same time, she makes a complete mess of her and her best friends' lives.

This truly cheerful and bright film stars the sunny Maria Ylipää, and features memorable performances also from Pihla Maalismaa, Johannes Brotherus ("Concrete Night", PÖFF 2013) and Riku Nieminen ("21 Ways to Ruin a Marriage", 2013). It is well worth memorising these names, as we will definitely see more of them in the films of our northern neighbours in the future.

"Urban Family" is a new kind of music film set in the modern-day world. The movie's engaging songs are written precisely for this movie by the very top Finnish songwriters including Paula Vesala, Lauri Ylönen, Olavi Uusivirta, Terhi Kokkonen etc.
