In Finnish Lapland, 14-year-old Milka and her mother hire a field hand who becomes romantically involved with both. He impregnates Milka before leaving them.

In a small Finnish Lapland community, Milka, an innocent 14-year-old girl lives with her mother, misses her dead father and prays God to show her what love is. For haymaking, they employ a simple but hard-working field hand, nicknamed Christ-Devil, who decides to stay and become the man of the house, courting both the mother and daughter. Eventually he leaves them both, and Milka has his child.—Markku Kuoppamäki
