A highly sensitive protagonist of the film who retreats from the city into the Finnish lake wilderness, toward an isolated island that changes everything.
Toivo "The Hope" Pylväläinen (1894–1979)
The mythical “Hermit of Lake Päijänne” lived for more than 40 years on a remote island. He lived in deep respect for nature and was said to possess supernatural abilities. Surviving by fishing, he invented the world-famous fishing lure known as the “wobbler,” though another man took credit for the invention. At the young age he was forced to leave behind the love of his life. Following this, he was believed to have drowned.
