To live and die in the land of reindeer.
Tapani Lappalainen is a hard working, family loving man in the northern of Finland, Lap- land. He could make some more money by selling land to a hotel owner from the south, but is too proud to do it. He guides a Swiss-German tourist couple, Klaus and Adrienne, to the woods, but soon after his return to the village finds himself dripped in blood beside the body of his retarted brother. Clearly guilty, he is arrested by the police, but is able to escape. He finds shelter in the cottage of the foreign couple. Suffering of amnesia, he is unsure what to do. He then receives unexpected help from the Swiss lady, Adrienne. She appears to have access in his dreams, and in this way she convinces them both of his innocence. A desperate quest begins to find the real murderers and a proof of innocence. On the way Tapani learns a lot more of life, and finds love of a different caliber.
