1984 in Finnish Lapland. Single mother Niina accidentally smashes the panoramic window of the "Lapland News". The boss of the harmony-loving cheese paper is persuaded by her to make up for the damage with articles he has written himself - provided the topics are cheerful! But Niina thinks she's onto a big story. Did no one but her really hear the deafening bang? When Finnish defense forces arrive in the small village, there is growing evidence that a Soviet missile has crashed in the ice. But the lethargic Laplanders don't want to know anything about nuclear fear. But Niina becomes embroiled in an absurd investigative research project in which the truth is always just a rocket's length away.

Finnish subtlety: With a whole armada of absurd characters and a wonderfully fearless protagonist, "News from Lapland" tells the story of a woman's touching and hilarious journey to find herself. A quirky Finnish comedy that brings the 1980s back to life in all its beauty.
