In a village in northern Finland, an outsider named Gunnar Huttunen buys the old mill and sets it running. At first he is well received, but when something upsets him he takes refuge in the forest to howl at the moon, and the neighbors try to have him sent to an asylum. With the help of rural counselor Sanelma Käyrämö, Huttunen fights for his freedom.
The novel was originally published in 1981. This French edition belongs to the Folio collection.
