<p>Late one autumn, Aino&rsquo;s father sets off on the road with the other village men. Little Aino doesn&rsquo;t quite understand why. During the cold winter days, scary noises start to echo from the nearby forest.<br />
The family is forced to leave their home, their own village shop, and Aino&rsquo;s playhouse. They leave for the train station in such a hurry that Aino can hardly keep up with the others.<br />
Near the playhouse, the eyes of the child and a foreign soldier meet. When Aino escapes, her rag doll&rsquo;s raspberry red apron is left behind in the snow.&nbsp;<br />
