About This Book

This two-act rural drama set in Uusimaa centers on landowner Johannes Nygård, his daughter Jenny, the farmhand Aapo Isokangas, and two visitors, Einar Peldán and Valentin Veckström. A university student's and an official's interventions provoke disputes over language, property rights, and social status; Aapo fears dismissal while Jenny balances family loyalty and personal affection. The play shifts between intimate household moments and heated community debate, examining cultural prejudice, political agitation, and how competing loyalties and social pressures shape decisions about home, belonging, and the farm's future.
