Metsolat was a Finnish drama television series produced by Yleisradio and aired between 1993 and 1995. Directed and edited by Carl Mesterton, the series was co-written by Mesterton alongside his wife Anna-Lisa Mesterton, Curt Ulfstedt, and Miisa Lindén. The series depicts the life of a fictional small-scale farming family living in Hoikka, a municipality in the Kainuu region, from midsummer 1987 to Christmas 1996.[1] The series gained significant popularity, with over a million viewers per episode.[2]

The story and its subsequent events have been adapted into five novels, all of which have since sold out.[3]

In 1994, Metsolat received the Pro Maaseutu award and an honorary certificate from the Telvis press jury. The following year, Carl Mesterton was awarded the Special Telvis Award, and the series received the Kunniakämmen award from the Invalidiliitto (Finnish Disabled Persons Association) for being the best Finnish television program addressing disability.[4]
