Set in the snowy town of Rovaniemi, the film follows parish housekeeper Kristiina Pahka as she falls for Marsipaani Räikkonen, a man whose reputation as a petty criminal precedes him. Meanwhile, hard‑edged Inspector Rautapää heads the local police as they tackle a string of crimes, many linked to Marsipaani’s eccentric friends.
