Niina, a single mother of two children, ends up working as an archiver in the local newspaper. After she hears an enormous bang from the sky and the radio says that the Soviet Union has shot a missile across the Finnish border to Inari, the whole village is filled with reporters from all over the world. Niina is quickly drawn into the investigation, but while she obsesses to find out what happened, she has to confront the truth about her own boundaries.
