Oukkari: Kertomus kansan elämästä
Produced by Tapio Riikonen
"Oukkari: Kertomus kansan elämästä" by Pietari Päivärinta is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The story delves into the life of a young boy named Juhani Oukkari, who is born to impoverished parents in Savonia, Finland. The narrative explores themes of hardship, survival, and the struggles of the lower classes, capturing the essence of rural life during this period. At the start of the novel, Juhani's arrival into a poor family is depicted with a focus on their meager existence and the hardships they face. His parents work tirelessly yet struggle to provide for the family, and when tragedy strikes with the loss of Juhani's father and later his mother, he becomes an orphan. The opening highlights Juhani's early experiences of love and loss, and his eventual transfer to a new household where he is treated as an outsider and faces ridicule and neglect. Despite these adversities, Juhani displays resilience, learning to read and harboring hope for a better future, setting the stage for his journey of self-discovery against a backdrop of societal constraints.
