Elisabeth recently recovered from a grave illness and, to top things off, her husband Ingmar has just died in a car accident. Sinking deeper into depression, she packs her three kids off to their aunt’s and sets out for a drive through the barren snowfields of Lapland. Determined to join her departed husband in the afterworld, she leaves the car and embarks on foot across the snowy wastes, eventually coming to the place where she and Ingmar first declared their love for each other.
But instead of finding her own death, she finds the snow-covered body of an old woman, Ina, and traces of a powerful passion that take us back to 1937.
After her mother's death, Ina runs her family's secluded farm alone with her father, Knoevel, a bitter man whose worst enemy is life itself. Cruel and violent, he terrorizes his daughter, who is too loyal to leave him. Then Aron enters her life. A stranger with a dark secret. A man of few words, but with a heart. Their love turns into a passion that seems able to triumph over Ina's misery and Aron's restlessness. Yet Knoevel relentlessly torments Ina, driving her to commit an act that can only be seen as a redemption...
