The first and definitely the most successful adaption of Aleksis Kivi's famous play can be counted as the brightest star among Finnish silent film.
"Nummisuutarit" is a funny but tough story about the traditional Finnish (hu)man nature that needs no further explaining. Esko's character lights up all that one needs to know about the culture of its time.
How beautiful is the ending when Esko says "I'll never marry" and walks away to sit in his house with his pet piggy. In his early works Erkki Karu had really the concept of "sarcasm" in his hands!
