Set during the tumultuous late 16th century, the story follows two Finnish men, Lippo and Seppä, who journey into the northern wilderness. Their primary goal is to explore the region around the Oulu and Ii waterways, where they aim to hunt and assess the living conditions in this remote area. The narrative hints at intricate interactions between different cultures, notably the indigenous Sámi, and engages with themes of survival, cultural identity, and conflict. The opening of "Vorna" describes a serene morning in the wilderness, where two men wake from a restful night by a campfire, surrounded by evidence of a successful hunt. The elder man, Lippo, is portrayed as experienced and knowledgeable about the rugged landscape, while the younger, Seppä, is depicted as strong and agile. As they discuss the implications of their journey and the potential encounters with Sámi people, tension builds around the impending arrival of a character named Vorna, who threatens to disrupt their plans. The narrative sets the stage for an exploration of their complex relationships with both the land and its inhabitants, hinting at deeper societal conflicts that may arise.
