Peritäänkö vihakin? Jutelma kahdessa osassa

A quiet island in the Gulf of Bothnia becomes the backdrop for a tale of sea‑worn hearts and stubborn devotion. The story opens with Jolsan Matti, a former sailor whose life has retreated to a modest cottage on a rocky shore, where the rhythm of the tide mirrors his own faded ambitions. Through his reflections we taste the bitter‑sweet nostalgia of a homeland that, though poor, holds a fierce, almost sacred place in his mind.

Soon the fragile peace is disturbed by whispers of old crimes and uneasy neighbours, hinting at hidden grudges that have long lingered beneath the surface. As Matti confronts the choices of his past—whether to cling to innocence or accept responsibility—listeners are drawn into a world where loyalty to family and land clashes with the shadow of past misdeeds. The first act sets a thoughtful, atmospheric stage, promising a deep exploration of conscience, community, and the lingering echo of the sea.
