Documentarian Miia Tervo is searching for her spiritual heritage behind the eastern border. In Karelia, she found an elderly woman, Santra Remsujeva, whom she could ask a few questions. The convivial reciter of poems became a kind of granny figure for Tervo over the years. But was the surrogate grandmother enough to suppress the feelings of rootlessness?
