Eeva, a fourteen‑year‑old girl in Helsinki during the autumn of 1917, opens her new diary with a mixture of teenage swagger and sincere curiosity. Through her lively entries she sketches the bustling classroom where Ossi Anger shines as a prodigy, the outspoken Hertta Malmi keeps the room on edge, and her younger sister Essi adds a dose of mischief. Their games turn the schoolyard into a make‑believe prairie, complete with imagined Indian chiefs and feathered crowns, revealing the vivid inner world of girls on the brink of adulthood.
At home, Eeva navigates the expectations of an engineer father and a mother who doubts her teaching ambitions, while her cousin Marja supplies strange inventions and cryptic riddles. The diary captures the push‑and‑pull between duty and desire, the humor of sibling quarrels, and the quiet moments that hint at larger challenges ahead. Listeners will find a portrait of youthful resilience and the ordinary magic that colors everyday life in a turning‑point era.
