Two young people, Ville and Liisa, meet and fall in love, but the narrow-minded townsfolk are standing in the way of their happiness. Mikko Niskanen's black and white adaptation of Sakari Haara's 1959 novel is a companion piece to Käpy selän alla (1966), and it offers even more style over substance. Eero Melasniemi and Kirsti Wallasvaara are good in the lead, but the story is silly and its twists are anachronistic or just incompherensible.
