Le mariage de Juhani, thérapeute familial, et de Tuula, conseillère d'entreprise, se retrouve dans une impasse. Tous deux sont toutefois décidés à essayer de vivre ensemble en bonne intelligence jusqu'à ce que leur maison soit vendue. Malgré toutes leurs bonnes intentions et les nouvelles règles de leur vie commune, les choses vont vite s'envenimer...

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.
