Paavo Tuominen

A story of a doomed young love in a small narrow-minded town.

In the 1970s, Turku City Theater staged an adaptation of Aleksis Kivi's Seven Brothers, directed by Kalle Holmberg. The premiere was in 1972, and performances continued for three years. The play was the biggest theatrical event of its time and a huge success with audiences. The brothers were played by the stars of the decade, with music by Kaj Chydenius. The TV movie was recorded from two public performances and close-ups were edited in.

Kalle leaves with his wife for their honeymoon in Airisto, but instead of a rental car, he mistakenly takes the getaway car stolen by robbers for a diamond heist.
