This arouses Ännelis anger, whose great willingness to help is slowed down by Christians who are becoming more and more stingy. One bad word gives the other, and soon the spouses are faced with a pile of broken glass. The children also suffer from the unfriendly atmosphere on the farm at home. Only a church visit at Pentecost and the corresponding sermon make reconciliation possible. On the night of Pentecost, a nearby farm goes up in flames.

The young woman no longer wants to endure this; she begs her resigned mother for help. At the same time, however, she cannot understand that Resli does not want to fulfill her father's scandalous demands and thus endangers her common happiness.
