LOOKING FOR MR. JUHA

Juhani Aho’s novel “Juha”, one of the classical Finnish novels, is seen as giving the classical portrait of an archetypical Finnish male. This documentary tells the story of the novel and its different versions. It also tells the story of 30 present day Finnish men called Juha, and how they see the mythical Juha and the themes that carve out his destiny: Innocence, strength, stubbornness, hurt pride, inner struggle and violent solution. How much of this archetype, Juha, do they recognize in themselves?
