Synopsis

Zara, jeune mineure, part vers l'ouest de l’Estonie, en croyant qu'une place d'employée d'hôtel l'attend. Elle tombe en fait dans les filets d'un réseau de prostitution russe. Battue et violée, elle arpente bientôt les trottoirs des zones industrielles. Une nuit, Aliide, une vieille femme vivant recluse à la campagne, la découvre, gisant sans connaissance devant chez elle, et lui ouvre sa porte. D'abord méfiantes, les deux femmes apprennent qu'elles ont en commun la violence infligée par les hommes. Pendant l'occupation soviétique, Aliide, elle aussi, a consenti à nombre de sacrifices pour survivre. Mais le temps est compté : la mafia russe a pris Zara en chasse.

Inspired by the Finnish epic The Kalevala, the story opens with a down-on-his luck novice blacksmith named Kai whose girlfriend, Ronja, leaves him. Ronja tries to dispose of his collection of Asian artifacts and what appears to be an urn full of ashes at an antique dealer. The ashes are his burned up hair and nail clippings, used by blacksmiths to prevent rust. This sets off a mythical series of events that holds Ronja back from leaving town. The ashes open a mythical chest, which causes Kai to remember a past life where he was a half-Chinese half-Finnish warrior named Sintai, fated to battle a demon in ancient China, threatening to enslave all of humankind.
