Summary "Kun meidän kaivosta vesi loppuu: Seuranäytelmä" by Maila Talvio is a play written during the early 20th century. The narrative unfolds in a rural setting, centering around the lives of several characters involved in the local community, highlighting themes of love, societal changes, and the significance of water in their lives. The title suggests a looming crisis concerning the community's water source, which serves as a central metaphor throughout the play. The storyline revolves around Anttoni Ylitalo, a bitter blacksmith, and his relationship with his sister, Eulaalia, and Hanna, the owner of Alitalo. The plot thickens with the arrival of various characters, including Kustaa Metsänheimo, a builder, and Sööterlunti, a well inspector, all of whom connect through a planned ceremony for laying the foundation of a new folk school. Throughout the interactions, love interests, social expectations, and personal conflicts emerge, particularly between Anttoni and Hanna, revealing a backstory of unfulfilled love. The play culminates in a celebration of love and community, uniting characters in unexpected ways amidst the challenges posed by their environment. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
