Recommended from 12 years old 19th century, unpredictable Baltic Sea. Maja is married to the fisherman Janne against her will. After the marriage, she moves to a remote island in the Åland archipelago, where the 17-year-old girl faces hard work and the long absence of her husband. Growing up in a value system that follows traditions, Maja begins to realize the new times and changes - in them, a woman gains more autonomy. At a time when nature and the age throw devastating challenges, tender feelings are born between Maja and Janni, which will carry them through the gusts of life. The most successful and popular Finnish film of the last years - it is based on the five-part series of novels by the writer Anni Blumkvist, which was successful in the early 70s was screened in series format. The latest version of the screen adaptation, which was made in Sweden, was created by Tampere-born actress and director Limi - her direction is full of dramaturgy of natural elements, well-rounded acting and contemporary, but not self-serving accents that inhabit the pages of Blumkvist. Creating an honest, balanced point of view between today's primary source and the land and people of the gray-blue sea of ​​the 19th century, a work has been created that will envelop and warm the viewer in its touch and Blaumannian appeal.
