In a quiet countryside manor, the day drifts lazily under the call of a rooster while the house sits empty, save for a sleepy farmhand and a bustling kitchen. Sakari Kolistaja, a man long accustomed to the steady rhythm of work, is jolted awake by a sermon that brands worldly wisdom as a path to ruin. The sudden awareness of his own “excessive” insight throws him into a bewildering inner turmoil, and his wife Anna‑Liisa struggles to soothe both his restless mind and the house that seems to echo with his doubts.
As Sakari wrestles with this newfound sense of guilt, he begins a reluctant quest for forgiveness, turning away from the comforting words of friends and family. The narrative captures the clash between simple rural life and the weighty doctrines of faith, offering a gentle yet probing look at how one man confronts the paradox of being too wise. Listeners are invited to share his early steps toward understanding, before the story moves beyond the first act.
