The Diary of a Worker (, and also released as Not by Bread Alone) is a 1967 Finnish drama film directed by Risto Jarva. It was entered into the 5th Moscow International Film Festival.
Plot The film is a story about the marriage of worker Juhani Vehoniemi (Paul Osipow) and his wife, clerk Ritva Vehoniemi (Elina Salo). Long commutes and constant worries about money are reflected in the everyday life of a working-class family. Juhani gets a foreman's position in Tampere, which further distances him from his own wife even more. An unfortunate accident at work drives Juhani to seek comfort from Laura (Titta Karakorpi), a girlfriend of Ritva's cousin Erik (Matti Ruohola). Ritva begins to feel not only growing lonely, but also the suspicion that Juhani is hiding things from her.
