Tehtaan tytöt

In a modest rural home, the youngest daughter Miina dreams of swapping endless household chores for a life in the nearby textile mill. While her mother, sisters, and father argue over the merits and dangers of factory work, Miña paints a picture of steadier hours, wages, and even the chance to wear the fashionable shoes of the mill girls. The family’s heated discussion reveals the tensions between traditional farm life and the lure of industrial opportunity in early twentieth‑century Finland.

As the household seeks counsel from the kindly parish matron, the conversation turns to deeper concerns about morality, community expectations, and the future of their children. Listeners will be drawn into the vivid portrait of a changing world, feeling the weight of every decision that could reshape one family’s destiny—without yet knowing which path Miina will finally choose.
