- Synopsis
- We are in Eastern Finland, in Liperi to be exact. Anna-Liisa Ihalainen asks her husband Antti to get some matches from the Ihalainen household. That trip takes a little longer than expected. Antti happens to run into his buddy, Jussi Vatanen, the widower with 15 cows. Antti goes to Hyvärinen household, but forgets to ask for those matches.Instead he asks their daughter, Anna-Kaisa, to be the wife for Jussi. Everything changes into more complicated when they meet Kaisa Karhutar in Joensuu. They also spend some time in the prison.And the people back home think they're dead, lying at the bottom of the lake. That's because Ville Huttunen heard them going to America but thinks they drowned with the steamship. But they're alive and well heading towards other adventures. by Petri Pelkonen
