Ei kertonut katuvansa

Early summer, 1945. Five Finnish women walk out of a Norwegian prison camp and head south through a Lapland reduced to ashes. They went with the German troops, and no one asks the others why; some cannot explain it even to themselves. As the war ends, what was tolerated a day ago is suddenly forbidden. On their trek across the wilderness they wonder how their wartime choices will be judged in peace and what awaits them at home, where no one will welcome them, and they share fear and grief as well as laughter and fleeting comradeship.
