ABSTRACT
Onni (meaning “luck”) is a 13-year-old Finnish boy. An only child, he lives with his parents in a second-floor apartment in a middle-class, suburban neighbourhood in Jyväskylä, the city in which he was born. Onni’s father, a consultant in the field of information technology, and his mother, an entrepreneur, both work long hours and struggle to maintain the balance between work and home life. When his parents are away on business, as is often the case, Onni is cared for by his grandparents who live nearby. Due to the amount of time he spends alone, Onni has developed a particularly independent spirit.
