En: The midsummer afternoon was warm and sunny, and the juhannus mood surrounded the small cottage, which was situated by the lake in a lush Finnish countryside landscape. Fi: Koivunlehdet pyörivät hiljaa tuulessa, ja heinäsirkat sirittivät taustalla. En: Birch leaves swirled gently in the breeze, and grasshoppers chirped in the background. Fi: Perhe oli kokoontunut juhannuksen viettoon: oli Eero, hänen sisarensa Liisa ja Liisan poika, Mikko.
