The widow Tea and her two children lead wretched lives as tenant farmers in the far north of Sweden. The period is the latter half of the 19th century, a time of widespread poverty. The women of the house, first the mother and later the daughter, have to pay their debts to the landlord - the only merchant in their community - with their bodies. (official distributor synopsis)
