Plot summary

The series is set in 1940 during World War II. It is a modern version of Gösta Berlings Saga, with several hints to the novel in style and story but it is not based on the novel. Several characters are real, or based on real people, as the series are based on Solveig Ternström's own experiences growing up close to the border during the war.
