A woman from Finland, who's been staying in Russia for quite a while and who speaks the language really well, sets out on a journey from Moscow to Murmansk. At the outset, it doesn't go exactly as planned but later on things change drastically: two people she trusts implicitly turn out to be a con-man and a liar but the one who looks the most revolting appears to be a friend.
And what always helps her on her way is her curiosity, sincerity and an extremely open mind.
The film is full of terrible stereotypes about Russia but once you see through them, you start genuinely enjoying it.
And there's a sweet surprise at the end.
