牧场上的少女卡特莉

时代是在1914年的南芬兰的农村里。卡特莉在她6岁的时候，母亲为了生计而到德国去工作，在欧洲的第一次世界大战开始时，与母亲往来的书信也就此断了。而留在贫穷的爷爷奶奶的家的卡特莉，她为了帮助爷爷奶奶，决定要到农场去工作。之后，卡特莉勤奋的工作讨人喜欢而受到许多人的支持，她在这种状况下成长，最后她与母亲再次相见。It has been three years since little Katri's mother left for Germany leaving her daughter behind in Finland, where she now lives with her grandparents. With Finland still under Russian domination, the inhabitants of these lands have had little or no news from the outside and no one knows if little Katri will again see her mother. To make matters worse, things in the Katri's grandparents' farm are not going well, the harvest had been a small one, their only cow had been killed by a bear and the family confronts great monetary problems. Katri wants to help and finds work in a neighboring farm; for a girl of hardly nine years of age the work of a farm is hard and tiring even with all of her enthusiasm and good moods, which is what keeps her standing.
