Within Limits enters to the core of the Finnish decision making as for a few hectic months four MPs are being followed in the Parliament of Finland.
In the spring 2008 the Finnish government proposes a major raise of 16% in the daycare and health care fees starting an emotive tug-of-war in the social affairs and health committee. The documentary follows how the bill, despite the strong opposition, cannot eventually be bent before anybody or anything. As one of the MPs in the film states: “regular people don’t understand anything about it - and they don’t need to.” Or should they?
