Sweden, 1849. A poverty-stricken family decides to move to America in the hope of finding a better and more prosperous life. Although they know the journey will be dangerous and the pressure of facing a new life in a strange and wild land is great, they are determined to succeed.

While many period dramas focus on grand political shifts, this intimate portrait centers on the quiet, crushing weight of starvation and the desperate gamble of a single family. It transforms a standard migration tale into a tactile experience of soil, hunger, and the terrifying uncertainty of the Atlantic.
