A Worker's Diary

Juhani works as a welder. Ritva is training for office work. The two of them meet and marry. But they come from different places. Ritva grew up in a family of the right. Juhani comes from a working class background. That difference starts being talked about at home. There is the question of work as well. Juhani goes away on long assignments. Finding a place to live is a trouble in itself. Money is a problem every month. The arguments pile up. The marriage strains under the daily load. The account moves through everyday detail. Titta Karakorpi and Pentti Irjala are in the cast as well. Elina Salo and Paul Osipow take the leads in Risto Jarva’s Finnish film of 1967.
