Synopsis:

An asphalt contractor, who has sacrificed his life to make a profit, finds himself in a financial dead-end. The ever gentle-minded road engineer Rauno Kannisto is hired to the construction site, to build a road that cuts through the vast forests by the Russian border. He knows nothing of the financial difficulties. Soon, Rauno finds himself in a situation where he doesn't know which way to turn. The sub-contractor becomes the main contractor, workers are loaded in containers from the other side of the border, and the contractor's wife has a smile that makes you lose your sleep. Middle of the Road is a dark comedy about loyalty and greed.

TV movie Middle of the Road (Puolin ja toisin) is about loyalty and greed, directed by TV director Matti Ijäs. It's a typical Finnish black comedy about contractors asked to build a road out of nowhere, cutting through forests by the Russian border.
