A part of the Niskavuori serie. The big and powerful family drama. This part tells about Aarne and his women. He lives in the city and is married with nice and quiet Ilona and his ex-wife Martta rules the Niskavuori house with the old Mrs. Niskavuori. Since Martta can't live like a nunn, a new scandal is approaching the mighty Niskavuori.

This was Edvin Laine's second Niskavuori movie. It's like old-fashioned The Bold and Beautiful. If you're interested in juicy scandals and you also like country side romances, this movie is for you.
