Kurdish refugee, Renas (Raouf Saraj), is living in the very north of Norway in a remote, snowy, new land. Soon Fermersk joins him, his wife arranged by his parents back home. Though the couple has never met, they have already fallen in love from looking at each other’s photographs and talking on the phone. Their families have performed a wedding ceremony back home in Iraq, and Fermesk is put on a plane. The first encounter at the airport does not live up to their expectations, however. Neither look very much like their flattering photos would indicate. Over time the two learn how to find comfort in each other, especially after the trials and tribulations of their new home.
