Synopsis

The story of a strange kind of information war, where a totalitarian regime stands face to face with the heroes of popular culture – and loses. To Soviet children, Finnish television was a window to a world of dreams that authorities could not block in any way. Though Finnish channels were banned, many households found some way to access the forbidden content. –São Paulo International Film Festival
