In the Lapland region of Finland, the domain of snow, midnight sun, and auroras, there is the small Hotel Metsäpeura, run by two older gentlemen. One night during a terrible blizzard, a mysterious young man named Jun arrives at the hotel. He is clearly in dire straits, with a large tattoo on his back, no relatives and no money. However, the gentlemen warmly welcome him in and offer him a job at the hotel. The kindness of the people living in the harshness of nature will melt the heart of this awkward young man.

A fish in love watches out for the object of her affection.
