Stormskerry Maja, Maja and Janne, move to the barren and remote Stormskerry island where the daily struggle for survival is real. Maja, who grew up in a world with old values, becomes aware of a new era: a woman can be an equal partner rather than just a spectator. The couple has children and life is good until trouble arises: War comes to the island, Janne is forced to flee from British troops, and Maja and the children are imprisoned. The family also faces many financial hardships and deaths. Years pass, but Maja remains strong and despite all the difficulties and hardships, she stays on Stormskerry.
