Produced by Tapio Riikonen
"Musta härkä" by Maria Jotuni is a children's tale written during the early 20th century. The story weaves a rich narrative about a family living in a remote rural setting, focusing on themes of love, imagination, and the mystical connection between a girl named Liisa and a black bull named Kointähti. It blends elements of folklore and fantasy through the experiences of its characters, especially as they navigate the spiritual and physical realms. The narrative centers around Jope Pölläkkä and his family, including his wife, Kaisa, and their children, particularly the fragile Liisa. Jope, who has an affinity for the mystical, experiences visions and dreams that lead him to believe in the significance of Kointähti, a bull connected to deeper spiritual meanings. When Liisa goes missing after being taken by a mystical creature, Jope embarks on a quest to rescue her, navigating magical landscapes and encounters with enchanted beings. Through her adventures, Liisa discovers profound truths about love, connection, and acceptance, ultimately bringing the story to a touching resolution as she reunites with her family, illustrating the themes of familial bonds and the importance of cherishing loved ones.
