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.
