On 31 August 2008, the film premiered at the Venice Days section of the 65th Venice International Film Festival. Subsequently, it won the Dragon Award and the Nordic Vision Award at the 2009 Göteborg Film Festival, and in 2010, it won two Jussi Awards, one for Best Cinematography and one for Best Editing, while it was nominated for four more.

The mute boy (Vitali Bobrov) lives in a remote farm with his mother (Emilia Ikäheimo), while his father (Jorma Tommila), a violent person, is in prison. A stranger arrives at the farm (Pavel Liška) and, reluctantly, he is given hospitality. The film brings the viewer close to the winter landscapes of the Finnish countryside through the eyes of the boy.
