Heartbeat and youthful enthusiasm in wartime Finland.
In the classic film directed by Orvo Saarikivi, the son of the Suominen family, Olli ( Lasse Pöysti ), has entered puberty. Schooling takes a back seat when the young man's heart begins to beat faster for his classmate Ritva. The film is a charming snapshot of the time and one of the most popular parts of the series, aptly capturing the excitement and comical aspects of first love.
