Hannu Leminen directed gladly his wife Helena Kara. But he should have payed more attention to her too theatrical acting (most annoying thing in this movie). If that was the only thing to make this film to be a comedy - no good.

A young woman meets an artist lady and gives her an inspiration. The artist lady starts to call this woman as Puck because she remains her of Shakespeare's character. Tauno Palo is a pianist who falls in love with Puck but nobody knows that this happy young woman has a terrible secret to hide.

TRIVIA: Leif Wager's first (Finnish) film role was in Puck.
