Doe-eyed Eero (Peter Franzen) is stationed in Russian Karelia on the first days of World War II. Sent on a special assignment into enemy territory, he must leave his fiancee who lives at the Finnish border. Serving his tour of duty, word soon gets back to Eero that his beloved has been slaughtered by the Russian Army. This personalizes the war for the innocent officer and he becomes a dehumanized warrior. (official distributor synopsis)
