Maanpää is a one-act stage play written in the early 20th century. Set in a Finnish manor’s garden, it is a light romantic comedy of manners that satirizes flirtation, jealousy, and social pretension, contrasting sincere affection with cynical game-playing. At Hongisto manor, the jovial landlord Alppi, his wife, their daughter Dagmar, and visiting youth orbit one another in a summer tangle. Shy feelings bloom between Siiri Auer and student Valto Helavuori, while Dagmar’s fiancé, the vain Engelbert Blom, tries to unsettle them by hinting at Valto’s supposed city romance and a telltale “red” letter—later revealed to be harmless. Engelbert’s caddish side is exposed when he flirts with the maid Kerttu and is called out by her sweetheart Jussi. After a comic interlude with the bumbling Setä-Fridolf, tempers flare: Hongisto rebukes Engelbert, who responds with brazen cynicism about love; Dagmar throws him back his ring and breaks the engagement. The play closes with Dagmar consoled by family, and Siiri and Valto openly affirming their mutual love.
