Synopsis:

Finnish filmmaker Hannu Tuomainen writes and directs the road movie Menolippu Mombasaan (One-Way Ticket to Mombasa). Teenaged guitarist Pete (Antti Tarvainen) finds out he has cancer right after his audition for a popular band. Along with his roommate Jusa (Joonas Saartamo), who also has cancer, Pete runs away from the hospital to take off on a road trip. Jusa is headed for Mombasa beach, while Pete searches for Kata (Johanna Ronnlof) in Lapland.

Pete loses his consciousness in the middle of the band's gig. The diagnosis is tough: the doctor cannot say for sure whether Pete will live to see his 18th birthday. On the hospital ward Pete gets Jusa, master of black humor who grew up in a reformatory. One night, encouraged by vodka, the boys decide to take night leave...

One Way Ticket to Mombasa, a film about two friends struggling with their personal wishes and terminal illness - but nothing will stop them accomplishing their deepest desires.
