The opening of the novel introduces us to a scene filled with vibrant social interactions, where Pentti Kaira is engaging with a captivating young woman named Katherine during a gathering filled with music and laughter. Pentti appears enthralled by Katherine's charm, but as their conversation develops, it reveals deeper layers of introspection regarding their identities and national sentiments.
