Aliide, an elderly widow living alone deep in an Estonian forest, discovers one night the bedraggled figure of Zara, a young woman who has just escaped from the Russian mafia who held her as a sex slave. Zara's plight is a painful reminder of Aliide's past in the Second World War, when Estonia fell into the clutches of first the Nazis and then Stalin's Russia. Aliide harboured a resistance fighter in her house, shielding him from the rampaging Red Army who subjected her and her family to unimaginable abuse.
