About Laulu tulipunaisesta kukasta
Olavi Koskela, a ladies' man, joins the loggers. As a log driver, Olavi travels from place to place, seducing one girl after another and then abandoning them. Only Kyllikki, the daughter of a wealthy family, is able to resist his advances and incites him to challenge another log driver to a race down the rapids. Through Kyllikki, Olavi is forced to face the consequences of his actions and reflect on the meaninglessness of his life.
Directed by Mikko Niskanen, Laulu tulipunaisesta kukasta leans on a strong ensemble — Pertti Melasniemi, Marjukka Arasola, Aune Hurme-Virtanen — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1971.
