The story is rather simple and familiar, man and a woman share one compartment on a train despite the clear personality differences. Finnish student Laura (Seidi Haarla) and Russian miner Ljoha (Yuriy Borisov) are both going to Murmansk; she a palaeontologist, wants to see ancient petroglyphs. He, headed to work, and drinking … a lot. The uncomfortable dynamics drive this movie forward until, lo and behold, an attraction starts creeping in.
