My Son, the Consul General

A comedy of manners, based on a play by Elsa Soini. The perky student Inkeri “Iiri” Paappanen (Helena Kara) and businessman Taavi Takkulainen (Tauno Majuri) fall in love during a boat trip, but a misunderstanding at a hotel in Stockholm causes their break-up. Returning to Finland, Inkeri applies to become a governess and gets a job at Taavi’s parents’ family. Consul General Albert (Uuno Laakso), Taavi’s brother, intends to take advantage of Iiri in his political endeavors.
