Summary: "Pyhäaamu Anttilan pihalla : Yksinäytöksinen maalaisnäytelmä by Veera Roos" is a one-act rural play written in the early 20th century. Set on a Finnish farmyard during a Sunday morning, it portrays village life with humor and warmth. The likely topic is rural courtship and family authority, contrasting city-bred manners with country values. The play follows Antti, who loves Helmi, a capable servant girl, but faces his father’s initial resistance. To jolt his father, Antti feigns interest in Olga, a fashionable city seamstress, while the wealthy but simple Kontinahon Tahvana bungles a bid to court Helmi. Emäntä quietly favors Helmi, and the father, alarmed by the prospect of a frivolous city daughter-in-law and by Tahvana’s suit, realizes Helmi’s worth. Fearing he may lose her, he asks Helmi to marry Antti, and she gladly agrees. Misunderstandings dissolve, and the family plans to celebrate their engagement alongside Aino’s upcoming wedding, affirming the play’s gentle moral that industrious good sense and “maahenki” outshine shallow sophistication.
