A man who has little compassion for his friend's and wife's toothache, soon learns how bad it can be when he gets one of his own.
Rural comedy of the intrigues and stratagems involving a country wedding. From a comedy by Alexis Kivi.
The story, set in the 19th century, revolves around the hot-blooded Jussi, a young farmer, and his friend Antti and their brushes with the local nimismies (sheriff) and the häjyt (badmen). The film, shot on location on the plains of Ostrobothnia, conveys a good sense of its unique landscape. Both Järviluoma and the director, Jalmari Lahdensuo were from Ostrobothnia and the film successfully expresses a feeling of the true spirit of the province.
