One Saturday morning, construction worker Erik gets some life-changing news: his ex-girlfriend Moonika, whom he hasn't seen for six months, is going into labor. She tells him that she doesn't want to be a mom, and if Erik doesn't want to take custody of the baby either, the child will be put up for adoption. But Erik is totally flummoxed by the sight of his tiny daughter, and once he holds her in his arms, he knows that he can't just give her away. But raising a child as a working-class single parent is tough. Erik has difficulty finding and accepting the appropriate support. And there is his temper. But after some close calls, Erik eventually comes into his own and Mai grows into a bright, pretty, well-mannered child. But one day Moonika, now married to someone else, files suit to take custody. What can Erik do?
