   Summary

   After Eurovision, Bojan and Jere's bond grows quickly, fueled by shared jokes, late-night banter, and the chaos of their performances. But when Jere invites Bojan on stage in Helsinki, on June 9th 2023, the overwhelming energy of the crowd leaves Bojan questioning himself.

   Backstage, away from the lights and noise, they finally open up: Jere revealing his insecurities behind Käärijä’s persona, and Bojan admitting the weight of his own self-doubt.
