Description

In a windswept coastal village of northern Finland, a sixty‑year‑old widower runs a modest yet prosperous homestead, thanks to his relentless work and a yearly haul of rich fish catches. He shares the house with his young, delicate new wife, whose frailty deepens the man's stern authority, and together they raise a small son after the loss of the child's mother. The boy, Mikki, grows into a lively, gifted youth—adept at hunting, swimming, and beloved by both men and women of the community—while his father strives to secure a future that matches his own ambitions.

A neighboring estate, perched beside a quiet lake, catches the elder’s eye as a possible expansion for Mikki. The owners, proud of their ancestral home, refuse to sell, proposing instead a marriage between their daughter and Mikki to unite the two families. The suggestion sets the stage for negotiations that will test loyalties, expectations, and the fragile balance between love and property.
