Nuutti, a young girl who was silenced for years, encounters an about-face in her life when a hunting camp is attacked, and she is left on her own in the middle of an ancient, unpredictable Finnish wilderness. When the weather and wilderness start to test her, it is only the memory of the past which gives her the strength that she can lean on. It’s a long way home, and the burden of the past becomes increasingly heavy on her shoulders at every step. Is the silence broken?
