Almayer's folly. Finnish
Tuulentupia
Produced by Juha Kiuru
"Tuulentupia" by Joseph Conrad is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around Kaspar Almayer, a man whose dreams of wealth and respectability clash with the harsh realities of life in a remote tropical setting. As he yearns for a better life for himself and his daughter Nina, the narrative explores themes of ambition, cultural clashes, and personal aspirations against a backdrop of colonialism and adventure. At the start of the novel, Almayer is depicted in a moment of deep reflection, grappling with both his present discontent and his aspirations for a brighter future. He watches the tumultuous river while contemplating his dreams of wealth and respect, intertwined with the hope of a return to Europe alongside his daughter. Characters such as Dain and Captain Lingard are introduced, who are pivotal to Almayer's future, as he navigates his relationships with them and the challenges posed by his environment. The vivid contrast between Almayer's dreams and the gritty reality of his life sets the stage for the unfolding drama. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
