Song of the Gallows
Laulu hirsipuista
A magic violin saves the life of a Romani man. At the same time Duke Juhana, lord of Turku Castle, is looking for a bride, and finds one. But the Polish princess Katarina Jagellonica wants to cancel the wedding because the food is terrible and the music ugly. In 17th-century Finland, the life of a stranger was worth less than a burnt wooden penny.
