ELINA.
A city couple, Antti and Elina, trade their comfortable municipal life for the stubborn soil of Kallila, hoping the fresh air and open fields will bring a simpler, happier rhythm. Their teenage daughter Lilja and agronomist son‑in‑law Oras join them, while the lingering presence of Antti’s former wife Sylvia adds a touch of domestic tension. The household is rounded out by a scholarly professor, a lively housekeeper, an eager trainee, and a local bailiff, each bringing their own quirks to the bustling farmhouse.
From the first scene, the family’s attempts at modern farming quickly tumble into comic mishaps—mis‑planted crops, runaway fertiliser, and a never‑ending battle with paperwork that threatens to drown their idealism. Their good‑natured banter and the occasional poetic musings of the trainee paint a vivid picture of rural life that is both demanding and endearing. As they grapple with irrigation, labour and the stubborn rhythm of the land, listeners are treated to a warm, witty portrait of perseverance and love in the countryside.
