Palle Hagman is an actor. He is also a charming dreamer with considerable powers of persuasion, and manages to induce many people to join him in his eternal quest for success and international fame. His break comes when he is asked to put on a large variety show in Helsinki in the 1950´s. However, his talents are artistic rather than financial and administrative, and he is obliged to resort to white lies "in order to overcome temporary difficulties", as he explains to his son, Martin. However, things inevitably fall apart when the lies catch up with Palle. (official distributor synopsis)
