Set in Finland during the 1840s, the story unfolds primarily over the course of a winter night in a modest dwelling. It delves into themes of class, identity, and the supernatural, revolving around the interactions between Colonel Christoffer Toll and a young woman named Maria, who serves in his home.  The narrative follows Colonel Toll as he returns home to find himself alone with Maria, having been unable to enter his own house due to the absence of household help. Their conversation reveals Toll’s troubled past, his connection to a mystical entity called the Hirsipuumies, which he acquired from a rabbi under questionable circumstances. As the night progresses, the dynamics of power and vulnerability between Toll and Maria shift, culminating in tense moments that explore themes of love, sacrifice, and the struggle for redemption. When Maria ultimately confronts Toll about the dark burden of the Hirsipuumies and makes a selfless choice that leads to its destruction, the story crescendos into an emotional climax where the toll of the past weighs heavily on the present.
