Description

In a tranquil Finnish meadow beside Uuhilampi, Jope Pölläkkä and his wife Kaisa raise three children, including the delicate Liisa with her dreamy blue eyes. Jope, a modest man plagued by occasional feverish visions, hints at an inherited gift for seeing the unseen. Their days are quietly marked by the low, haunting calls of Kointähti, a mysterious black bull that seems to watch over the farm.

When the kids head out to collect berries, Liisa is asked to feed the bull, a simple act that awakens a strange bond between them. Jope feels uneasy about the animal but is drawn into a quiet search for what the bull might represent—both promise and peril. The tale blends everyday farm life with folk wonder, inviting listeners to follow the family's first steps toward a larger, unseen adventure.
