Christmas is-a-jingling to Lapland in 1984. Niina (28), a single mother, is fired from her job in a bakery and drifts into the middle of an international missile crisis in Inari when the Soviet Union shoots a missile across the Finnish border. A drama-comedy of personal and national borders and boundaries.
