The shy logistician of a German mail order company, Matthias Bleuel, is sent to Kemerovo in Siberia by his Russia-sympathetic boss to create a work flow system for a Russian subsidiary of his German company. He says "yes" simply because he is too weak to say "no." Siberia, of all places. Equipped with down coat and bear spray Matthias expects to face danger, snow and ice. But in a mystic summer landscape he soon falls in love with traditional singer Sajana and can not recognize himself any more. The academic logistician becomes a emotional person who believes in ghosts. Stumbling at first, but then more and more self confident, he moves into a new world and puts everything on risk to win the love of Sajana - and to say goodbye to the former Matthias Bleuel.
