Atso Fagerström

Based on the Bertolt Brecht play, the movie follows the farmer Puntila, who when he's sober is a real pig but whenever he gets drunk becomes very generous. Puntila is trying to get his daughter to get married, but the problem is that his drunk self wants her to marry another man than his sober personality wants.

The film tells the story of a wandering barrel organ player's daily, tragic life in the back streets of the Finnish cities.
