Growing up in the aftermath of the massacre of his entire tribe, Kullervo comes to realise that the same people who had brought him up, the tribe of Untamo, were also the ones who had slain his family. As a child, he is sold into slavery and mocked and tormented further. When he finally runs away from his masters, he discovers the surviving members of his family and must make a decision between revenge and mercy.
