Late one autumn, Aino's father sets off on the road with the other village men. Little Aino doesn't quite understand why. During the cold winter days, scary noises start to echo from the nearby forest.
The family is forced to leave their home, their own village shop, and Aino's playhouse. They leave for the train station in such a hurry that Aino can hardly keep up with the others.
Near the playhouse, the eyes of the child and a foreign soldier meet. When Aino escapes, her rag doll's raspberry red apron is left behind in the snow.

Ainon is� l�htee my�h��n syksyll� muiden kyl�nmiesten kanssa matkalle, jonka merkityst� Pikku-Aino ei oikein ymm�rr�. Talvipakkasten paukkuessa l�himetsist� alkaa kantautua pelottavia ��ni�.
Perheen on j�tett�v� koti, oma kyl�kauppa ja Ainon leikkim�kki. Juna-asemalle l�hdet��n sellaisella kiireell�, ett� Aino melkein my�h�styy matkasta.
Leikkim�kin kulmalla lapsen ja vieraan sotilaan katseet kohtaavat. Lumihangelle j�� Molla-Maijan vadelmanpunainen esiliina, kun Aino l�htee pakoon.
