Welcome to Rintamäki small farm – where spirit and heart meet.
Rintamäkeläiset, written by Reino Lahtinen, is a landmark in Finnish TV drama. It tells the story of the everyday life of a small farming family in Hämeenlinna at a time when the countryside was beginning to empty and urbanization was changing the way of life. The series focuses on Antti Rintamäki ( Veikko Sinisalo ) and his wife Maria ( Liisa Roine ).
The first part introduces us to Antti, who believes in the land and hard work, even though the world around him is changing rapidly. The series is full of genuine life: conversations between neighbors, family joys and sorrows, and a deep respect for nature and tradition. It is a description of a time when things were done by oneself and neighbors were always helped.
