STORMSKERRY MAJA
Come on, Maja.
Come now.
-Come on, Maja! -Come on, Anna!
Once when the old man was ploughing the field -
goblins appeared to him.
His horse suddenly stopped and refused to move an inch.
No tricks helped.
Then he remembered that you have to look between the bridle and the head.
And then he saw goblins swarming in the furrows.
Oh please, Olle, that's just old folks'...
You should read the Scripture to the kids. There are no goblins.
How do you know?
Because no one has ever seen one.
Don't believe in things you can't prove.
But I have to believe in God though I've never seen him.
They do exist.
The Catechism says that we must ask the Lord to save us -
from trolls, goblins and witches.
Is that so?
It's true, believe me.
Erker?
-Good afternoon. -Come in.
Hindrik, put wood in the stove so we can see our guests better.
-Is this your son? -That's him.
-Sorry to disturb. -Nice to have guests from far away.
-What's your name? -Janne.
He's my third oldest. Penniless, in other words.
I know how it is. I have two boys myself, -
and then those two.
-I see you have some liquor. -Have some, it'll warm you up.
Olof and his folks have a galeas, a painted table and a silver watch.
-A silver watch? -Oh yes.
Is that so?
Look!
Maja, we have guests.
I can set the table.
Not many fish at Kullskär lately.
-I've had to go further out. -So I've heard.
But there's plenty of fish in the outer archipelago.
-I'm planning to go there. -Oh?
-Where? -To the outer archipelago.
That's enough, Janne.
Any other news?
Yes, there's the news -
that Telleskar's boat sank last week -
taking all men with it.
-How many? -Three.
Josef, and both of the boys.
God's will.
Give them a blissful passage. Give them eternal joy.
But everything is your holy will, -
-that is why I preach your miracles. -Amen.
What do we think about that Janne?
-What about him? -He was handsome, wasn't he?
Why are you thinking of such things -
when you're so awfully fond of Per?
I can think what I want.
What are you thinking about?
-Nothing. -I bet not.
Well...
-I'm thinking about words. -What?
Like the word "good". Good.
And then you add "said Boman".
"Good, said Boman."
Who is this Boman, and what does his "good" mean?
Does his "good" differ from mine?
And what do I have to do so that a 100 years from now someone will say -
"said Maja from Vestergård"?
And what would I have talked about?
About this cow? About the forest?
There's never any sense in your thoughts.
You're completely... I don't know what.
-What word am I? -Let's race.
-Who fills her bucket first? -Me.
-You're not that nimble. -We'll see about that.
One, two, three, go!
Are you milking, Maja? Are you nimble? I'll win!
Done.
See? Who's nimble now? Who?
Stop it! You're scaring the animals!
Wake up, Maja.
-Get up now. -Why?
Come. I need your help. I think you can handle it.
It's been going on for over 24 hours.
They asked for help too late.
-What can I do? -Just do as I say.
And keep calm. And if nothing else, pray.
You can push now, Greta. Push now.
You're doing great, Greta. Push!
Good, a little more!
Good. Good! There...
Maja.
The Lord decides how many days each of us have left.
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name.
Your kingdom come. Your will be done...
My life and death -
is in God's hands.
I'll come when he calls, all is God's plan.
You have counted every hair on my head...
Go home. I can do the rest myself.
I don't want life to be like this.
We all have to face life and death.
You're not ready to be an adult until you do.
And you faced them both at the same time.
What happened?
-Is it Per? -No.
Hug her.
Maja!
Sea Mother, Sea Mother, -
show me my future husband.
Show me an image of my groom, show me my happiness.
Sea Mother, Sea Mother...
-Show me... -Maja.
Did you see anything? Did you see my image?
I don't really believe in such things.
Do you really believe in things like the Sea Mother?
Stop fooling around!
Do we have guests?
Speaking of the devil...
-What? -Won't you consider the other one?
She's older, and more sensible.
No, it was her I was thinking of.
Janne meant Maja, he was very clear about it.
Well, all right then.
We have nothing against Janne. The matter is settled.
Go on.
Maja!
Come back here right now! Maja!
-Did you say something? -No, I didn't say anything.
She...ran away.
My apologies. That's just how she is.
It's fine.
You'll be a missus soon. You beat me to it.
Then you two will head off to some barren islet.
He talked about it with that Erker. -About what?
The first time they were here.
-What place? I didn't hear anything. -You were daydreaming as usual.
But he plans to take you there. I'm sure of it.
He'll return once the land has been partitioned.
Then you'll get married.
You'll have to be a grown woman. You'll celebrate your wedding night!
It feels like nails in my flesh every time I remember that Janne.
And that I have to see him as a part of my life now.
That's how it goes.
And when I pray...
...I also ask God for forgiveness for not being able to like Janne.
And sometimes I pray that it will be a long time before I have to leave.
You'll get used to it.
I certainly hope that Per will propose to me soon.
So that my life will be as it was meant to be.
-How do you know how it should be? -Everybody knows.
Maja! Keep your head still so I can get your hair in order.
I'm standing still like a statue!
We have to comb your hair straight and sleek!
-Is it nice and firm now? -Thanks a lot!
I feel like I'm in a vice!
Behave now.
I have a bridal sack for you.
It's one of my finest pillowcases. Be careful with it.
Off you go. Vallborg is waiting down in the village.
-May I look in the mirror first? -To look in the mirror is to sin.
There.
You look fancy.
Good day.
Didn't you bring a sewing?
Mother didn't ask me to bring any.
-This is no ordinary trip. -Perhaps not.
But she is known to seize the moment, -
and I believe she teaches that to her daughters as well.
Move your cups, we don't want any stains.
For heaven's sake, don't give her the whole roll.
When I give, I give enough.
There, my girl. That's your first nest egg.
Magnus, congratulate the bride.
Well...
Congratulations.
The crofter's wife Lisa gave it from what little she has.
How much is there?
Goodness me!
Sea Mother, Sea Mother, show me my future husband.
Sea Mother...
All beings of the forest and the sea who can hear me:
Why do I have to?
Girls. Behave now.
Anna, let's go and brew some coffee.
Welcome!
Maja, wait...
Let's go and have some coffee, Erker.
Good day, Maja.
You can wear it on your shoulders.
Luckily it didn't touch the shit.
You can put it...
Thank you.
Damn, that hurt!
That's a lot of money.
It just isn't possible.
I know that we don't have any loan guarantees -
but Maja and I are young and strong. You will get your money back.
-With interest. -Of course.
Whatever the interest, I can pay you back.
-How? -I'll sell almost everything I catch.
I'll be at sea from dusk to dawn.
Stormskerry is well located for sealing as well.
I've calculated that the logs will be paid off in five years.
With interest.
Five years.
Then I decide to take Janne's word for it.
Thank you! You won't regret this.
For your nerves.
The wife was created for the husband, but the husband not for the wife.
She should honour him, -
just as Sarah called Abraham lord.
I, Maja...
"Maria."
I, Maria Lovisa Mickelsdotter...
...take thee, Johan Eriksson...
...to be my wedded husband -
to love in sickness and in health.
-Sorry, can we go under the covers? -Sure.
Damn.
You look like a slaughtered animal!
And you look like...a forest demon!
I don't remember it being that funny.
Though I am poor and feel enticed -
and guilt weighs on me heavily, -
I still believe in Jesus Christ, -
that he will not reject me.
Your love, oh Lord, is my guide.
It heals the wounds deep inside.
Not exactly a merry tune.
Sorry if it isn't to your liking.
I've found a place for us.
It's called Stormskerry.
There one can be whatever one wants.
But what if one doesn't want to?
I have nothing here.
I won't inherit a farm or a barn.
I have to build something of my own.
-Something for us. -Why all the way out there?
Anna, mother and father, the little brothers, -
Old Man Olle and Vallborg are here.
Yes.
But there's fish out there.
There you can create your own world.
You can have the floor as ceiling, and shirts as trousers.
And it's beautiful out there.
Completely open and free.
An endless sea.
And wind.
And sun.
It would be just ours.
All that.
Why would anyone wear a shirt as trousers?
Why not?
Fancy, huh?
There you can watch shadow figures without being called kooky.
Don't be afraid, Maja.
-Of what? -Of anything.
Don't be afraid of anything.
Everyone can see.
We're married now. Did you forget that?
We'll build the house there.
Look, Maja. Next summer we'll be living in a new house.
And I'll build a pier at the shore.
If we happen to buy us a galeas someday.
And we can sleep in the barn until the house is complete.
I'll fetch the rocking chair for you to sit on.
Look, Maja. This is both our home and our barn.
Come along, madame.
Or should I carry both you and the cow across the threshold?
We should nail twigs into a cross above the door.
-Why? -It protects Tulipana against evil spirits. It protects us too.
All right.
Is that okay?
If it's important to you, it's important to me.
We're married after all.
What are you afraid of?
Maja...
...but if you encounter one on a field, -
you have to spit ten times over your shoulder, like this...
...and then run away.
-And what was this? An earth spirit? -A goblin.
And then there's the Sea Mistress. She's horrific.
She floats on the waves with her long hair down, wanting to take your life.
You have to watch out for her. She's more dangerous to men.
But I've thought about it.
Maybe she's just a lonely soul that died a long time ago -
after a miserable life.
That's why she's so mad and wants to hurt others.
The Nix is dangerous too.
But you're safe if you sprinkle salt in the sea.
That's good to know. Thank you.
I haven't told you about the spirits of the forest and the rocks yet.
Row against the wind, so we can check the nets.
Row with that one.
That one!
There! Father, help me lift this.
This one's ready.
-Not you, Maja. -Oh yes!
Let her lift, she's stronger than you think.
Listen to father.
Done. Let's move the next one.
Janne.
-You have to be careful. -And get a catch.
-You get hungry too, right? -I do, but...
Janne. The Sea Mistress is in a bad mood.
I'll say to her: "Be gone, you hag."
"I already have a lovely wife, I can't be seduced."
Promise me you'll turn back if the wind rises even a little!
-I'll rather eat hay than live without you! -I promise.
And throw the first fish to the Sea Lord to appease him!
Janne, did you hear me?
Lord, bless us and keep us safe.
Lord, bless us and keep us safe...
Sea Mother!
Do not take Janne away from me! He is my husband!
He is not yours!
Janne...
I didn't know -
the winters could be this long and cold, even for adults.
I've gotten used to sleeping in the barn.
Maybe deep down inside I'm an animal!
But we can't live here next winter, -
even if you turn into a pig!
How come? This is a palace!
She will be the prettiest girl in the world.
With your mouth.
And your eyes.
And your beautiful, beautiful hair.
And your calmness.
And your self-confidence.
And your shoulders.
And your peculiar nature.
And your courage.
We'll have to make many. So we can get all kinds.
We will fill this skerry...
...with small faces and hands. And feet.
They'll grow up in a new house, on these shores, -
under these stars.
The best in town doesn't come cheap.
Maja! Come on. We have a lot to do.
Come have a taste. Best bagels in town.
God watches over you too.
Good day.
Please have a look at our goods.
Would you like a silver box with fine details?
Or perhaps a pearl necklace?
Well... How much?
Only three roubles.
A new necklace for the lady!
No! Maja!
Good day.
Yes, very fine... 250...
What a fine yarn.
-Have you spun it yourself? -Yes.
-And dyed it as well? -Yes. With what I have.
Reed flowers, birch leaves, mushrooms, willowherbs...
I see.
Beautiful.
You have an eye for this.
950 grams... That makes...
And 250 grams...
So we have...
That amounts to this much.
Splendid. Please sign it at the bottom.
Any kind of mark will do, if you can't write.
There.
Two roubles and 50 kopecks.
Thank you.
-And farewell. -Farewell.
Farewell.
Come, Maja.
The look on your face, when the snake coiled around your neck...
You looked like an eel out of water.
I'd like to have a snake like that, in the barn with Tulipana.
Maja.
Shall we turn around and go buy us a snake?
Does it hurt?
-Is the baby all right? -Why did you take the money?
What money?
My yarn money.
-I've always taken care of our money. -Exactly.
That's what I'm asking. Why you?
Isn't it usually the husband's responsibility?
If you want you can hold the money every now and then too.
What would I do with it? I can't even write my own name.
-Can you manage? -Just do your own part.
The new pier is nice.
It's pretty fancy, all right.
But...if we're going to buy us a galeas, then...
And after the galeas? A frigate?
We need help.
-A shipwreck. -Where?
Near Storgrund. Six men are afloat.
-I'm coming. Anyone else on the way? -They sent to mainland to get help, -
but they may not get back in time.
It's just us for now.
You go ahead.
May God be with you. Get back safe.
We saved two of them, the other four are gone.
Maja!
Honey?
Maja...
Hot water. Here you go.
Hot water. Linen...
A towel. And a blanket.
Maja.
Maja! You can't leave me. Maja...
Here, Maja.
Open the southern...
Open the southern windows.
-Then pour hot coal into a bucket with cold water. -What?
Do as I say, so we can get the baby out!
Hot coal...
Maja.
So small.
Our girl.
Maria.
Maria, come in.
You too, August and Mikael.
Come on in.
Look at your new little brother.
Do you want to hold him?
-Here you go. -A book!
-It has pictures too. -And letters.
You don't understand yet. Let me look.
Pictures and letters.
I have something for mother too.
Let's have a look.
-Here. -Thank you.
Now you can begin.
Draw an A.
What if I never learn?
Then I guess you're a bit stupid.
What do you mean?
-No, it reads "lamb". There's a picture too. -Maria...
-Don't you get it, you moron? -Maria!
Quit staring at me, you cow, or I'll punch you!
Mikael, come here.
I said so because she's stupid.
Mikael...
You know the difference between right and wrong.
That's why I think you'll apologise to your sister soon.
You're as quick-tempered as your mother.
Yes, because I'm born of you.
Well and truly.
Mikael. Mother's little hothead.
Maria. Take the little ones inside.
Come.
They intend to destroy all coastal fortresses.
Bomarsund and the rest.
We either aid them or get slain.
That's the way of the Englishman.
We should all fight back.
We have to remove all these outer island cairns.
We certainly don't have to help them.
I'm not taking part in this. Not for nor against.
I'm an Ålander.
Not a Finn, not a Russian, not a Swede.
Then I'll do what I must without your help.
This is a long war, it encompasses almost the whole world.
Englishmen, Ottomans, Russians, -
the whole of Europe is fighting, - from Crimea to the Baltic Sea.
But you think you can stay out of it.
For fucks sake...
Well I guess I can give you a hand.
This stone is for the Field Pixie.
And this stone is for the Earth Goddess.
And this feather is for the Sea Goddess.
And Jesus gets all the air, but no treasure.
Why not?
Because everyone believes in him anyway.
Why are the eiders quiet? Are they scared?
Why would they be scared?
Because they know there's a war on.
You gave everyone such nice gifts. Even Jesus got all the air.
Now we don't need to worry.
Come here, kids. Don't look over there.
Come.
Come? Where?
Can't we just stay here? What?
Come.
"A soldier shoots a man."
"The lass combs her hair."
"A man shoots himself."
-Does it really say that? -That's what it says.
Sounds horrible.
-Can we have some already? -Please!
You too, professor.
What is this? Are you offering fresh bread?
How lovely.
Careful! It's going down the wrong way.
I'm choking.
I told you.
All that is evil...
...is far from here.
Should we borrow more money?
What do you mean?
We're barely getting by, living from hand to mouth.
Come on, Maja...
When we came here you said you would build a bigger pier, -
because one day we would have a galeas.
-I was just joking. -Wouldn't it be nice?
It came from the fjard.
I guess it's time to say our last prayer.
You have to leave. Right now.
You have to leave now.
I don't have enough time to get to the boat.
They'll see me.
They're going to kill me.
What will happen to you then?
No one is going to get killed.
Hide in the barn.
They won't find you.
I'll come and tell you when to leave. Tonight, at the latest.
-I can't leave you and the kids! -They want the men.
They don't care about women and children.
Go now.
Listen to me. Just keep calm.
Where's father?
Good day.
God be with you.
Don't worry.
Janne.
Oh God!
Are you all right? And the kids?
You have to leave now. They're all asleep.
Go down to the shore, take the boat and row to the mainland.
Try to get inland, maybe Ostrobothnia.
I can't take the boat.
They'll see it's gone and come after me.
Or blame you and the kids. They hang saboteurs.
Then I'll take you there.
I'll row back before they wake up.
-Maja, it's too far away. -Come on.
Maja. My Maja...
Maja, the time has come -
when neither of us can be afraid.
No! No.
Please come back.
No...
We just have to be quiet, bow our heads and do as they say.
Nothing bad is going to happen to us.
Mikael, get down from the Millrock!
If you fall in the water, the Nix will take you!
Mother...
Keep your eyes on your work.
Keep on gutting.
We're not afraid.
Ice. Ice.
Soon.
Coming soon.
What does this matter now?
It will always matter.
Dear God!
Watch the little ones. Whatever happens, don't go out.
Let her go!
Don't touch the cow.
That cow is our only hope.
When you leave this skerry, and this horror is over...
If the children and I are still alive -
we won't make it through the winter without her.
Can you hear me?
Do you understand? We need her to survive.
My kids and I will die without her.
I wanted to ask the officer... Excuse me.
I can show you.
If you don't mind.
Come.
Outside.
The cow...
Me...
Firewood.
Me.
Water. Me.
There's too much to do. And the house is packed with idle men.
They can't all be unfit for work.
You could at least do something.
Look how skinny I've become.
What do you gain from our deaths?
Who will serve you then?
They're going somewhere.
I hope they die.
Bleed and die.
Nix, the Sea Lord and the Sea Mistress.
Lure the English into a watery grave.
Sink them to the bottom so they'll never return.
We do not wish death upon anyone.
Not even our enemies.
That's not what good people do.
I hate them!
They just came here and drove father away.
I should get to wish they were dead!
You're not that kind of person. You are my girl.
-Hate devours the hater. -You don't know what kind of person I am!
Mikael! What are you doing?
Put it down and leave the Lieutenants room.
Forgive me. I didn't mean to. Mother...
-I killed them. -No.
You didn't kill them. The war did.
There, there. It's all right.
Come, everybody.
Let's clasp our hands.
Dear Lord, bless and protect these fallen...
Poor thing. You're someone's son too.
Don't be afraid. You'll be all right.
Take him to bed and give him water. I'll check his wound later.
You need to calm down, Lieutenant.
Come. I'll help you.
Lie down here. You need to rest.
I'll change the bandage tomorrow.
Let's hope the fever breaks soon.
I miss my Janne too.
You should rest now.
Lie down.
Maja.
Is this the whole world?
I think it's just a little piece.
I think it continues outside of the edges.
And then it goes around the back. Because the world is round.
Yes.
What does that say?
"Madrid."
Madrid.
Can father come back now?
Yes.
-Mother? -What?
-What are you doing? -I'm screaming! You should try it!
Let's go.
We have to eat.
Come on, we're going fishing.
But father is not here.
We'll manage.
Maria, there's a pair of trousers for you too.
It's easier to work.
A little more on that side.
Pull, August.
-I'm trying! -You can do it. There.
More on that side. Come on, August.
What? Did she go out to sea with the children?
Father. I've missed you.
Good heavens, you've wasted away. And the kids as well.
There's hardly anything left of you.
-Mother sent you this. -There you go.
You use trousers nowadays?
It's practical. You should try it.
Come.
The English left it behind.
Surely you don't understand any of it.
-Let's throw it away. -No.
It was a gift from a friend.
"I thank thee, Heavenly Father, -
through your beloved son Jesus Christ, -
for keeping me from sin and all evil through the night -
so that my life and deeds may please thee."
She knows it by heart.
"Let thou holy angels be with me, -
so that the evil foe may have no power over me."
I doubt Maria has that many sins on her conscience yet.
Don't speak against the word of the Lord.
Come and sit, Maja.
Here's what we'll do, Maja.
You and the kids are coming back to Vestergård.
We can't leave. We have to wait for Janne.
He'll be back any minute.
That won't do. You won't last out here.
Janne will be home soon.
You don't even know where he is.
He's safe, and on his way home.
Do you know how many men fled and how many of them got caught?
Janne can come to Vestergård.
We'll wait for Janne here. This is our home.
I have to milk the cow.
Maja. Wait.
Stop this madness.
Is it madness to know where and what you want to be?
As if you or any other woman could make such a decision.
Well I can.
Janne is not coming back.
He must be dead.
He will come. I've seen it in a dream.
God, you're so childish!
He will come because he loves me.
Love has nothing to do with this.
Say it.
Out with it. Say what you want to say. I can see that you want to.
You think that life is love and games.
That you can decide how it goes.
And that you don't have to be afraid of anything.
That you and your children will manage just fine on this skerry.
I don't think that.
But I can decide what I want to do.
You think Janne wants a wife who decides for herself?
Can't your Per stand such behaviour?
You used to laugh a lot.
Can't you see that I worry about you?
You see how nimble I am?
-I've always been nimble. -Nuh-uh.
-Yuh-uh. -Nuh-uh.
-Yuh-uh! -Nuh-uh.
-Yuh-uh. -Nuh-uh.
Tell grandma we miss her.
I feel terrible leaving you here.
Maja does what's best for her.
I'll protect you from the Nix and the Sea Mistress until father comes back.
I'll keep lookout from the Millrock every day -
so I'll see him right away when he comes.
-I have sharp eyes. -That you have, my dear.
You'll see him soon. First as a tiny dot in the horizon, -
and then he'll appear at the pier.
I'll keep lookout today too.
Poor little thing.
What's wrong?
Where's Mikael?
He was at the shore keeping lookout for father.
Then I think I saw him fall in the water.
I didn't see him come up to the surface.
Me, August and Hindrik searched for him, but we couldn't find him.
Mikael...
Mikael!
Where's Mikael?
Don't worry.
Go to sleep.
We'll talk more about it tomorrow.
My little Mikael.
May the Lord bless you, and keep you.
May the Lord make his face shine upon you -
and be gracious to you.
May the Lord lift up his face to you, and give you peace.
ln the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost. Amen.
Ages come -
and ages go.
The kin will follow the kin before.
Never ceasing -
is the sound from heaven.
In the joyful pilgrimage of the soul.
I christen you Gabriel Johansson...
...in the name of the Father...
...the Son...
...and the Holy Ghost. Amen.
He'll lend us the money. We'll start shipping cargo.
Maja, please. We can't do it, it's a terrible risk.
It's a terrible risk to live this poorly.
We're hanging by a thread.
Now I'm the one who isn't afraid.
This isn't harder than... most things.
-Can I sail with the galeas too? -And me?
You'll not only sail with it.
Your father will teach you how to be master fishermen!
A galeas sure would be fancy.
Now I have to nurse him.
You can start thinking about how you'll present the matter to Saka.
-Give Janne a hand. -Good. Let's lift it.
Janne, we don't have time for nonsense now.
Come and grab this, boys.
With this you can carry so much goods and catch -
that you won't know what to do with all the money.
You'll have to slave away to pay off that debt.
All debts will be paid. Everything will be all right.
-You have to smear ash on the bow. -Ash?
Everyone knows it's the only way to keep a boat afloat in a storm.
Are you hearing this, father-in-law?
She calculates loan instalments on a slate like a bourgeois -
modern person.
Then, like a medieval witch, she tells me to smear ash on the bow.
Laugh all you want, just remember the ash.
We have to make sure the net isn't folded.
Maria.
Maria, keep an eye on your little brother for a while.
Where are you going?
We'll check if there's any driftwood coming in from the fjard.
Because of the storm, so...
-Driftwood? -Exactly!
-Get in the sled. I'll pull you. -No.
You don't have the strength.
I'm strong enough.
-No, you're not. -Sure I am.
We all have the strength to make it to next spring.
Sit here.
Next winter I won't be able to pull you anymore.
But we'll have so much money we don't know what to do with it!
Then we'll have the galeas, and the catches will be big.
And you'll be fat like a seal from all the eating.
-"Mother combs the girl's hair." -"The boy dresses himself."
Let me try. "Mother combs the girl's hair."
Can't you sleep?
Is the baby kicking?
I saw...
Come to bed. Come now.
You can take a sauna at least once a week while I'm gone.
We shouldn't waste firewood.
You're so beautiful.
Am I?
Still.
And always.
-Don't be silly. The last bread. -You have a long way ahead.
We'll manage. We have potatoes and herring.
This is our final trading trip. Then we'll have the money.
And I'll be back before the baby comes.
I'll take care of the old man.
Do you even have one single hair on your face, August?
Maja!
Don't forget: I love you!
Mother.
They must've gone further to sell the merchandise.
Janne wants a good price.
They're coming! I saw two men on the ice coming this way!
What omen made me bake bread with our last flour at this very moment?
They can sit down at a set table with fresh bread.
I can see them!
Watch him.
The other one is August...
And the other one is Janne.
Maja.
My girl...
No.
Not this.
I'm sorry.
Father fell into the ice.
I did what I could.
Mother, I'm so sorry. I...
I couldn't get him up.
He went under.
-Maja... -I don't want to!
That's good, Maja.
Push. You can do it! Good, Maja!
The child is too small.
Maja.
Here.
She's hungry, Maja.
We were certain that she wouldn't make it, -
so I administered an emergency christening.
We christened her Johanna.
After her father.
Maja. Everything is ready.
We will sail to Vestergård.
The luggage is packed.
You're not staying here.
Life on the skerry is too hard. You won't manage alone.
Johanna is so small, -
and you have the others too.
Maja!
Don't forget: I love you!
We will stay on Stormskerry.
Maja...
Everything I love is here.
As are those who are no more.
How could I leave them here?
I'll change into dry clothes.
No one wants to walk around in wet clothes.
Bring Johanna to me.
To Maja?
Yes. To me.
My goodness, Maja.
Why didn't you bring your father?
With a guarantee from him, maybe. But to a widower with children...
This doesn't concern my father. It concerns me.
The galeas will be ready this summer.
Work will continue just as it did before Janne...
But you have no men to put in the galeas.
Janne taught the boys. They know what to do.
August is already taller than me. And he has his father's shoulders.
Hindrik is close behind him, and Gabriel too.
No.
I would never get my money back.
A house without a master. Just a woman and a bunch of kids.
Just a woman?
I survived a war.
The deaths of my husband and my child.
I survived hunger and hardships.
Is it worth less because I'm not a man?
How dare you speak to me like that.
I'm not in the business of charity.
Move back to your father and stop with this madness.
I'm not mad.
And I'm not afraid.
Give her the loan.
Very well.
But to extend the loan period the bond has to be signed.
By someone who has authority to sign documents.
Can your father do it?
A woman's signature is not legally binding.
It is in court.
As is usury.
