One night at a hot-dog stand in Finnish Lapland, a commitment-phobic party animal, Aurora, meets Iranian Darian. Darian needs to marry a Finnish woman to get an asylum for himself and his daughter. Reluctantly, Aurora agrees to help him find a wife. When the perfect candidate comes along, Darian and Aurora are faced with a difficult choice: pretend to be happy or to finally stop running.
