Synopsis by Eleanor Mannikka
This is a simple, down-to-earth comedy that revolves around the age-old issues of love and matchmaking. One group of farmers heads out to cut grass each summer, bringing with them a charming young woman who is not yet married. Their leader is an old matriarch who has her own counterpart in another, similar group of peasants that harbor a young and marriageable bachelor in their midst. These two bands of peasant workers camp near each other and as sure as night follows day, the attractive young woman and the bachelor are looked upon as a most likely romantic duo.
