The Lapland tundra. Rupi is a young miner who fills his days by traficking in illegal pills, drinking, and dropping coins in a slot machine. After his friend is murdered, Rupi realises that he loves his friend’s widow. But the mine owner wants her too. The violence becomes a spectacle, the tragedy comic, the tundra cold, the people degenerate and hope ephemeral, like a star shooting through the sky. But even in this world, hope briefly rears its head.

Raja-Karjalassa, jatkosodan kynnyksellä, parikymppinen Anni (Asta Sveholm) perheineen joutuu jättämään kotinsa. Perhe asutetaan vieraalle paikkakunnalle, jossa uusi elämä on rakennettava tyhjästä. Arkea leimaa kova työnteko sekä ortodoksisen perheen ja luterilaisten kyläläisten molemminpuoliset ennakkoluulot ja viha.
Kurjuudesta huolimatta elämännälkäinen Anni himoitsee naimisissa olevaa paikallista miestä, sodassa vammautunutta Taunoa (Turkka Mastomäki), eikä ymmärrä, miksei tämä antaudu hänelle kokonaan. Anni saa pidettyä suhteen salassa, kunnes veljien harmiton heinävarkaus johtaa odottamattomiin seurauksiin. Kevään orastaessa kohtalokkaat tapahtumat vyöryvät voimalla eteenpäin juuri, kun Annin usko parempaan huomiseen oli heräämässä.
