The drama unfolds in a small coastal town in Finland, focusing on the Valtanen family, particularly the dynamics between the stern patriarch, Kauppaneuvos Valtanen, his wife, and their children, Uuno, Valdemar, and Martta. The narrative explores themes of family tension, societal pressures, and the moral complexities surrounding wealth and responsibility. At the start of the play, we are introduced to the Valtanen family on a hot summer morning, setting the stage for the interpersonal conflicts that will develop. The family discusses the troubling behavior of Uuno, who struggles with alcohol, and their father's mounting pressures related to business, reflecting on their wealth and its burdens. Various characters express their inner turmoil and dissatisfaction, hinting at deeper familial conflicts that will escalate as the story unfolds, particularly surrounding an impending tragedy tied to the merchant family's fortunes and the relationships between the siblings and their fiancée, Leena. As tensions rise, the characters must confront uncomfortable truths about loyalty, guilt, and the consequences of their choices. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
