Kesyttömät veljekset

Two young brothers and two different approaches to life, or rather to entering into it. The first, around whom the story mainly revolves, is already married and is trying to start his own small business. He embodies the "Protestant" capitalist morality, trying to make ends meet through sacrifice and hard work, but quickly realizes that it is difficult for small entrepreneurs to break through with wholesalers (because they can change the terms of an agreement during its course, as they already have long-term contracts...). His carefree brother, a university communist, on the other hand, devotes himself to the future of society and cultivating relationships with his girlfriend (the daughter of a big capitalist - the authors could have avoided this cheap trick...). The business eventually gets going successfully, but it turns out that what was supposed to be just a means to a happy family life has become the ultimate purpose, enslaving its presumed master, and reserving all the time for itself. Slowly but surely, it undermines the family itself... In the atmosphere of the late 1960s, the authors' attempt to not lean towards either side was evident as it was most likely a call for synthesis between capitalism and socialism, East and West, which "Finnishized" Finland could have been extraordinarily close to.
