A stylish 1980s Nordic love story based on true events.

When a young Finnish student, Kaisa, is invited to the British embassy party in Helsinki to celebrate a Royal Navy visit to Finland, she's not looking for romance. After all, her future has been carefully planned: she's to complete her degree, marry her respectable, well-to-do Finnish fiancé Matti, and live happily ever after.

Enter the dashing Peter, a newly qualified Navy officer. Like a moth to a flame, Kaisa falls head over heels in love.

Kaisa and Peter embark on a long-distance relationship, but at the height of the Cold War, while the Englishman chases Russian submarines, Kaisa is stuck in Finland, a country friendly with the Soviet Union.

Can they trust each other? Can their love go the distance?
