The narrative centers around the life and social circumstances of a shoemaker named Topias, his family, and the other characters that intertwine with their lives in a Finnish village. The play explores themes of love, social class, and the comedic mishaps that arise during the preparations for a wedding, particularly involving the young character Esko. At the start of the play, we are introduced to the setting within Topias's home, where a sense of familial duty and youthful excitement permeates the atmosphere. Esko, Topias’s son, is preparing for his wedding, engaged in a dialogue with Jaana, a foster girl, and encountering another character, Kristo, who reflects on the complexities of their relationships. The dynamic between the characters, particularly in regard to marital expectations and societal pressures, is established through witty exchanges and comical misunderstandings. As the characters interact, the audience is brought into their world, filled with aspirations, rivalries, and the comedic essence of village life as they navigate the rituals surrounding Esko's wedding.
