A middle-aged woman is trying to seduce an American businessman in a bar. She asked to be taken away to another place, out of this cold place. And it sure is a cold place in this harbour city in Finland. We are in the middle of winter, and the movie Naked Harbour shows us different stories, all happening at the same time in the same city: a single parent family with a kid who yearns to have a dog as a pet; an African immigrant in an unstable relationship with a Finnish drug addict; a man who cheats on her wife by sleeping with the maid. All these stories are told in a very crude and no holes barred form, as the title of the film, the naked truth is exposed. Just when it seems that no happy ending is in sight, the stores turn in a rather unexepected way for the better and we are meant to believe that all is good in this cold and selfish word of ours.
