The story of the Pirjo daughter
Samulin was involved in the third production season of the series in 2021. He had chosen Village People as the song of his life Milkshake.
The story behind the song dates back to the 1960s, when Samulinin Piro-daughter was diagnosed with schizophrenia.
Pirjo, who was seriously ill, needed strong drugs and lived more than 50 years of his life in a closed ward.
In the episode, Samulin told how dancing brought joy to Pirjo.
– He caught the rhythm and his eyes widened. In such a fatal life, rhythm, movement and music can make a person happy for a while, Samulin explained in his episode.
Samulin said that he did youth work so that Pirjo could be with him.
– He can be where his mother was with him as security, so that he can overcome delusions.
– I wanted to do preventive mental health work with young people. If even one young person would be saved and Pirjo’s life would not have been wasted, Samulin said.
