Jan Troell's two films, The Emigrants and its sequel The New Land, tell the story of Karl Oskar (Max von Sydow) and his wife Kristina (Liv Ullmann), a Swedish couple who emigrate to America and settle down in Minnesota in 1852. Through persistence and hard work, they build a successful homestead and farm. Karl's younger brother Robert (Eddie Axberg) soon leaves for the gold mines of California, taking with him oafish field hand Arvid (Pierre Lindstedt).
As the years pass, more children are born, threatening the health of Kristina. A local Indian tribe, harried and starving, becomes a threat to the growing ethnic Swedish community. When the Civil War breaks out, Karl must choose between patriotism and pacifism.
