Movie propaganda
Elegant, outgoing, gracious and entering middle age, Saara (Outi Mäenpää), a Helsinki gynaecologist, is very much like the fresh snow covering her city: it looks splendid, but you have no idea what it's covering... In Saara's case, her self-assured exterior conceals a strong streak of jealousy. Saara has discovered that her husband Leo (Martti Suosalo) is having an affair with young Tuuli (Ria Kataja), one of his students, who also works at a martial-arts studio. Intrigued, Saara tries to find out who this girl is, and unwittingly ends up joining Tuuli's self-defence group. Little by little, Saara slips into Tuuli's life, gaining her trust and friendship. She even establishes a troubling intimacy, partly by accident, partly by design. Saara plays it by ear, now lying, now telling the truth; now manipulating, now abandoning herself to emotions she never experienced before. She creates an elaborate scenario, giving herself a false name to mislead Tuuli and a false lover to dupe her husband. She has successfully turned the tables on her husband, but is soon in danger of losing control over the avalanche she has unleashed. Saara, Tuuli, Leo, but also Leo's sister and her husband are all sucked into the maelstrom of jealousy and revenge that will leave them all scarred...
