When the war was over, it was talked about in dreams which they wanted to forget. This documentary film brings forth the dreams of people who live and who have passed away. After 70 years, old people are still seeing dreams of their past. This hybrid documentary reaches into the fading reality that continues to live within us. The film is based on interviews and written sources of Finns who witnessed the Second World War. The restored archive film material is unique and has never been presented before.
