Madame K

October 1939: Madam Kukk and her girls settle in a new villa that the Foreign Ministry councilor helped buy. He then shows up with high-ranking Russian guests.

Anastassia and Linda both have upsetting experiences with the Russian majors. Two new girls arrive, and a young American guest visits the house.

Mrs. Kukk finds out Carola’s real identity, and the atmosphere at the house is transformed to be ‘more Soviet-friendly’ under Metsla’s directions.

As the Winter War begins, Carola reveals the dark secrets about the house and her past, which explain Metsla’s motives to move the brothel there.

A young lady asks for a job and swears revenge when Mrs. Kukk turns her down. By New Year’s Eve, most of the girls leave for their homes.

The girls start knitting white pullovers, which become popular among the boys going to the war in Finland. Renate rekindles an old love.
