Single moms can do anything. Take Niina, the heroine of this comedic Nordic political thriller who is busy working as an archivist at the local newspaper when a Soviet missile crashlands into their small Finnish town. Niina is played by Oona Airola, who won a Dragon Award at the Göteborg Film Festival for the role, and whose character is drawn by happenstance into the investigation that envelopes the town, and soon becomes a pivotal player. Set in 1984, the score, costumes and set design create a wonderfully immersive sort of “snow globe”/crucible in which Niina, as an overlooked woman of whom nothing is expected, becomes the heroine in her own story – and meanwhile just might save the world from nuclear disaster.
