En 1941,après la Guerre d'Hiver, prise en étau entre deux régimes répressifs, la Finlande n'a pas d'autre choix que de s'allier avec l'Allemagne nazie pour lutter contre l'URSS, son éternelle rivale à l'Est qui a envahi leurs terres. Dès lors, l'affrontement féroce entre les soviétiques et les finlandais se déroule en juillet 1941, en Carélie du Nord, où les seconds, sous le commandement de l'officier Koskela, sont chargés de mener l'offensive contre leurs ennemis afin de récupérer leur territoire. Mais ces derniers sont lourdement armés et bien préparés au grand désarroi des finlandais qui, malgré tout, parviennent à traverser la frontière soviétique où ils découvrent rapidement l'horreur et la futilité de la guerre. Parmi eux, le jeune lieutenant Kariluoto, bourgeois et idéaliste, est déstabilisé par les qualités stratégiques du caporal vétéran Rokka, agriculteur qui défie sa hiérarchie mais fait preuve d'une rare humanité.

Many years ago, in Lapland, a boy named Nikolas is orphaned when his family are killed in an accident. The heads of the families in the village meet to decide his future and, as life in the arctic is difficult, it is decided that as no one family could care for him permanently, they would raise him communally, with each family taking him for one year and then moving him on to the next. Grateful, Nikolas begins whittling toys out of wood as a gift which, each Christmas, he leaves for the family that cared for him. It becomes a tradition from then, with Nikolas never forgets the children of those families that received him each year. When a blight hits the village, and none of the families can afford to take him in for the next year, he is taken in by grumpy hermit Iisakki as his carpenter's apprentice. Iisakki works him hard but Nikolas is clever and quick to learn, and Iisakki gradually grows to love Nikolas as his own son. Nikolas begins to live more and more for the spirit of Christmas with each passing year and it becomes his life and as he grows old he becomes the figure known as Santa Claus.
