Produced by Jari Koivisto and Tapio Riikonen "Testamentti y.m. kertomuksia" by Kasimir Leino is a collection of narratives written in the early 20th century. The work appears to explore themes of nostalgia, memory, and the intersections of personal and communal histories, with a central focus on the life and reflections of the main character, leskirouva Strömfors, as she approaches her 70th birthday. The opening of the collection introduces leskirouva Strömfors, an elderly widow reflecting on her past as she celebrates her milestone birthday. Surrounded by friends and relatives, she experiences a mix of joy and melancholic memories, particularly regarding her unhappy marriage and the loss of her children. The narrative sets a tone of bittersweet reminiscence, as the old woman contemplates the passage of time and the enduring presence of her childhood memories. At the same time, she is visited by a young girl named Liisu, whose innocent gesture of singing and gifting flowers brings a brief moment of joy amid her nostalgic reflections. This initial chapter establishes a rich backdrop of social relationships within a small community while hinting at the deeper emotional currents of life, legacy, and human connection.
