In 1984, during the cold war, two Swedish 19-year old girls in a rowing boat drift out to the Baltic sea and experience a close encounter with a submarine.
After two dramatic days on the Åland sea, teenage girls Helena and Lou are rescued by a Soviet ship. But what they actually experienced out at sea remains a military secret. Now 35 years later, Helena tells the story that was never allowed to come out.
The silence about Russian submarines in Swedish got you totally lost. At a press conference in Murmansk, Helena asks the Russian people for help. But will anyone dare?
