Produced by Matti Järvinen and Tuija Lindholm "Liika viisas: Viisaudenkirja eli kertomus Sakari Kolistajasta" by Maiju Lassila is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book revolves around the character of Sakari Kolistaja, a man who grapples with the notion of wisdom and its implications in his life. It delves into themes of faith, self-awareness, and social commentary on human wisdom in contrast to spiritual understanding. At the start of the story, the setting is a quiet summer day in Sakari's household, where he is surrounded by an atmosphere of stillness and domesticity. His wife, Anna-Liisa, expresses her frustration with Sakari's apparent laziness, while an unexpected awakening begins to stir within Sakari. Influenced by the powerful sermons of Pastor Pöndinen, Sakari realizes that he considers himself "too wise," an acknowledgment that plunges him into a deep existential crisis. As he struggles with his self-identified wisdom and its consequences, the narrative sets the stage for his ensuing quest to come to terms with his condition and to warn others against the perils of excessive knowledge. This opening portion establishes a reflective tone, inviting readers into Sakari’s complex inner world and the social dynamics surrounding him.
