Simpauttaja
1975, FI. Directed by Veikko Kerttula.
During the spring harvest, a strange man arrives in the village on the shores of Lake Pielinen, carrying a rifle and a backpack. He is a skilled worker, a ruthless talker, and a ladies' man. By the time the autumn snow falls, the village has changed. No one can quite figure out the man. He calls himself Simpauttaja. Based on Heikki Turunen's award-winning debut novel, the film is a tragicomic portrayal of rural change.
