The story delves into the perspectives of various characters, particularly focusing on the interactions and conflicts surrounding a small convent community in Finland during a time of societal change and religious tension. Central to the narrative are figures like Isä Mikkeli, the local priest, who grapples with his duties and relationships within his parish, and young Tuomas, whose baptism sets off a chain of events that highlights the challenges of tradition amidst shifting beliefs. The opening of the narrative introduces a lively setting where Isä Mikkeli and the kanttori (cantor) engage in a drunken conversation, revealing their personalities and concerns about their roles in the community. It depicts a visit from a desperate mother seeking to have her son baptized after her husband's death, underscoring themes of spirituality and societal obligation. As the ritual approach unfolds, filled with comical yet poignant exchanges, it becomes clear that the characters face not only the customary rituals of the church but also the complexities of human relationships and the consequences of their social realities. This establishes a foundation for exploring deeper themes as the story progresses.
