Småland in Sweden in the middle of the 19th century. Faced with poor soil, debt and oppression Kristina and Karl Oskar Nilsson, their children and his brother Robert join a group leaving for the United States, which they reach after crossing the Atlantic by ship. After reaching New York they press on, first by train and then by riverboat, with the goal of claiming farmland in Minnesota.
