“From "The Emigrants" dream, come the settlers struggle to survive...”
A Swedish immigrant family struggles to adapt to their new life on the American frontier during the second half of the 19th century amidst civil war, native uprising and the lure of gold in California.
A stark, unflinching look at the brutal realities of pioneering life. It feels like a cold wind blowing across an unforgiving landscape, where every small victory is hard-won and the dream of a better life is constantly tested by hardship and loss.
