Summary: "Sylvi; Kovan onnen lapsia" by Minna Canth is a drama in four acts, written during the late 19th century. This play delves into themes of love, loyalty, and the constraints of social expectations, focusing on its main character, Sylvi, and her relationships with her husband Aksel and her childhood friend Viktor.

A significant shift occurs with the arrival of Viktor Hoving, a childhood friend, who rekindles Sylvi's affections and memories of their playful past.
