No prints of the film have been preserved so the film can be considered a lost film. The original screenplay has also been lost. However, some plot descriptions are still known based on contemporary newspaper advertisements of the film. As the name would indicate, the film tells about two local men who are making moonshine in the woods. A customer comes to them, and while sampling the product they start a game of cards, which eventually leads to a fight. While the fight is going on, the local police shows up and arrests the makers while the customer manages to escape.(Wikipedia)

The melodrama Sylvi (1913), directed by Teuvo Puro, is the first Finnish full-length feature film. It is also the first film adaptation of Minna Canth’s play of the same name (second 1944). Orpo Sylvi (Aili Rosvall) is married to his older guardian Aksel Vahli (Teuvo Puro), but passionately loves his childhood friend Viktor Hoving (Teppo Raikas). A difficult situation drives Sylv to desperate deeds. A approximately 27-minute version of the film’s surviving scenes, with the most explanatory text, has been reconstructed.
