Young 17-year-old Maja is married against her will to fisherman Janne. Her life on the island of Stormskerry (Stormskär) is full of challenges and adversities: as a fisherman's wife, she has to cope with her husband's long absences at sea and take care of her family alone. However, Maja has grown into a strong-willed and independent woman, who is not afraid to tackle the barren archipelago. Maja and Janne have a strong love that has deepened over time as they face many challenges and upheavals.

Beautiful, moving film. Outstanding photography, direction and script. I was reminded several times of the early Bergman.
