Swedish subtitles. A glistening nitrate print. Presented by Kyllikki Forssell. Viewed at Domino, Turku Festival of Finnish Film, 9 April 2005. An omnibus story of three "lost children" inspected by a childless couple. Quite a range of acting talent in a strongly emotional film with a lot of Zeitgeist interest about the "baby boom" era after WWII. Töyri directed the story of the criminal's girlfriend, Forssell the comically starting story of the young inventor, and Hällström the story of the philandering songwriter. Tauno Palo is the good guy this time, and Leif Wager gets to play the playboy.
