Synopsis
A gripping love story, in which the classic love triangle takes a very untraditional form. The plot is centered on an Estonian university student who falls in love with a young Baltic German woman. The Baltic Germans had lost their aristocratic position since Estonia declared its independence. The young German earns her keep as a tutor for an Estonian family, and is not well-off. The young man, Oskar, starts courting the girl frivolously, but then falls head-over-heels for her. Before long, the prejudice that an Estonian and a Baltic German are of unequal standing stalks the couple. When Oskar goes to ask Erika's grandfather - a former manor lord - for the girl's hand, the meeting leaves a deep impression on him. Oskar finds himself wondering if he doesn't love the woman in Erika, but rather her grandfather; meaning, her noble descent. Does love depend solely upon the emotions of two young individuals, or are their origins, their social and cultural background actually the deciding factor?

About the Author
A.H. Tammsaare, who became the leading figure in Estonian literature and has been translated into many languages, was born in 1878 into a poor farming family in a small Estonian village. Due in part perhaps to his family's unusual intellectual curiosity, Tammsaare was able to raise money for his education and studied law at the University of Tartu until he was hospitalised with tuberculosis in 1911. After a year in hospital he spent six years recovering on his brother's farm. When Estonia became independent, he moved to Tallinn. His greatest influences were Russian realists such as Dostoyevsky, Tolstoy and Gogol, but his work also shows the influence of Oscar Wilde, Knut Hamsun and Andre Gide.
