Overview

Late one autumn, Aino's father sets off on the road with the other village men. Little Aino doesn't quite understand why. During the cold winter days, scary noises start to echo from the nearby forest. The family is forced to leave their home, their own village shop, and Aino's playhouse. They leave for the train station in such a hurry that Aino can hardly keep up with the others. Near the playhouse, the eyes of the child and a foreign soldier meet. When Aino escapes, her rag doll's raspberry red apron is left behind in the snow. --- Ainon isä lähtee myöhään syksyllä muiden kylänmiesten kanssa matkalle, jonka merkitystä Pikku-Aino ei oikein ymmärrä. Talvipakkasten paukkuessa lähimetsistä alkaa kantautua pelottavia ääniä. Perheen on jätettävä koti, oma kyläkauppa ja Ainon leikkimökki. Juna-asemalle lähdetään sellaisella kiireellä, että Aino melkein myöhästyy matkasta. Leikkimökin kulmalla lapsen ja vieraan sotilaan katseet kohtaavat. Lumihangelle jää Molla-Maijan vadelmanpunainen esiliina, kun Aino lähtee pakoon.
