The story appears to center around themes of youth, adventure, and the complexities of friendships set against a backdrop of a summer camp. The main character, Mikko, is depicted as a thoughtful youth grappling with familial and societal responsibilities, particularly related to his father's mysterious loss of important documents referred to as "Onnen arkku," or "The Box of Fortune."
