June, 1941: Trapped between two repressive regimes, Finland has little choice but to ally itself with Nazi Germany against its traditional foe, although it manages to remain a democracy throughout. Virtually unknown in the WW ll arena, a brutal war against Soviet occupation takes place in the Far North. As the men of a Finnish infantry unit march through the forests of Karelia to regain territory lost to Russia in the Winter War of 1939, each of them soon realizes the horror and pointlessness of war. Except for their officers, more concerned about medals and personal glory than the lives of their men. A diverse group of men, all at odds with how they see themselves, each other, and the common cause--yet they are strengthened by a growing bond of camaraderie to each other and their loved ones. After huge personal sacrifice and a prolonged trench war, the outcome is inevitable, ending with a ceasefire in September 1944.

A former stoneworker in search of employment takes a most unanticipated career: Juha is out of a job, but he's trying to keep his unemployed status a secret from his clinically-depressed wife Katja. Having failed to earn a paycheck for two months, he begins posting flyers around town in search of odd jobs; to ensure that his wife won't find out, he lists his best friend Olli's telephone number on the flyers. Soon a woman calls seeking a man's help with some structural work, and eager Juha jumps at the chance to earn some extra cash. At the woman's home, however, things quickly take a strange turn as the woman asks him to strip naked and brush her hair. Later, after returning to the woman's house for a more intimate session, the quick-thinking entrepreneur hires Olli as his contact man and launches a profitable escort business catering to lonely middle-aged women. When his wife telephones his former employer and discovers he was laid off and his daughter subsequently makes a surprising find in her dad's briefcase, he is finally forced to tell the truth about his new occupation.
