Madam
The boisterous good humor of Jurmala (Mikk Mikiver), the nickel-mine owner, is, if anything, only barely dented by the raging battles in Finland before, during and after World War Two.

Indeed, the resource he is wrenching from the earth's bowels is necessary to all forms of industrial activity, and is especially necessary for military applications.

At home, his relationship with his wife is not so prosperous, and they resort to some extraordinary means to try and keep on an even keel.
