Bring the bag! Hurry up with the bag!

Last as usual?

I told you to put the barrel there!

Elsa!

Elsa!

Elsa!

I'm waiting here!

Hurry up! Hurry up!

Come on!

Who's coming next Saturday?

-Olof and Ragnar. -Ragnar…

-Good night. -Good night.

Thank you.

Where the hell is the boy?! Why isn't the boy helping?!

Karl Orsa!

-Good night. -Good night.

What do you have there?

Smoked mutton shoulder.

At least a pound.

What do you mean the house is yours? Why do you say the house is yours?

Because Alexis pledged this place as surety.

For his debts. The debts written down in this book.

For goods he bought on credit.

Do we owe anything?

No, no, don't be scared. You don't owe anything.

Except for the rent, of course.

You have to pay the rent.

The rent? Pay to live in the house?

Pay to live in our own house?

That's what the rent is.

It's that sum that is the rent.

But it's my house.

Not yours - mine.

It used to be yours, but now it's mine.

You rent it, and if you rent something, you pay rent.

But you don't need to worry. You'll get the mourning year for free.

I'm not an evil man.

Snaps is just like everything else.

If you buy a little, it doesn't cost very much,

but if you buy a little often,

then that's a totally different story.

And so the mourning year passed.

The cash.

Where will we get the cash?

What's the boy's name?

His name is Johan, after his grandfather.

Then at least he has a grandfather.

I already have plenty of cash.

More than enough.

Won't you play something for me, Tea?

Take the little boy and go outside.

It's time for us to settle the rent.

It will be sufficient if I get to settle up with Tea.

He's here.

It can't be true.

It can't be true.

I'm too old for that kind of nonsense.

Old and rickety.

And now my leg has gone sour as well.

Well, it's how it is. I eat salt straight from the bag.

I did it last time as well, with Jani.

Well, it can't be mine.

I haven't even been close to Magda for two years.

There is something else you should know, Tea.

I'm in the process of unburdening myself.

A little something every day.

The forest, the hardlands, the store, the hay fields.

And what about me? Are you unburdening yourself of me as well?

All of it!

Once your leg goes sour, you have to step aside.

You'll have to come to terms with my boy, Karl Orsa.

Regarding the rent, I mean.

I don't think he's impossible to come to terms with.

Yeah.

You can take a sugarloaf for your boy. You know where they are.

Take two. Take two sugarloaves.

"Tea should get the mirror," he said the day he died.

As some kind of keepsake.

That's a pretty mirror.

-What's her name? -Eva.

Eva…

Won't you sit down?

No trouble on my account. I can sit here.

About the rent…

Did he remember to say anything about the rent before…?

No, just the mirror.

But I'll sit down with the book after New Year's, and we'll see.

-We'll see about the rent. -So there was a book?

Yes, everything's written down.

Dad was very thorough.

But this year's rent is paid.

I was thinking more about the future.

I'm all alone.

And there's no money.

Well, if it wasn't for the store…

But I do need to collect the money.

But I'm sure you can get credit.

Just in case.

Here you go.

Up you go.

-Any potatoes in the house? -Yes.

He says that he's from the Land of Canaan.

But I think he's just from Småland, maybe.

Or maybe even Gothenburg.

-What do you have there? -Where?

Underneath the patch.

My shooting eye.

But I lost it.

Where?

In China.

So, there's money in the house?

The big bucks.

Down to the penny.

Soon you'll have to tell us what you're doing, Jakob.

Seven…

Point…

Seven point…

Well? What secret thing are you up to?

One, two…

There…

Lift your legs.

Two point…

What is Jakob up to?

What is he up to?

Tea, hand me the book.

There, yes.

This can't be right, Jakob. 13 inches?

The bed can't be 13 inches?

Two point…

It's because I've converted the numbers.

What do you mean, converted the numbers?

To one fifth.

-One fifth? -One fifth.

Yes, to one fifth.

I'm working to scale. According to scale.

He's working to scale. According to scale.

It's finished! You can come now!

Come in.

Do you recognize it?

Jakob!

Come here, sit on the bed.

But…

I'll just touch up the frame on the Gustavian, to bring it out more.

Welcome! What should we call her, Jakob?

We'll call her Ängla!

Welcome, Ängla!

Look how nice it is with the glass.

-Nice. -Yeah.

That's how you do it.

Never give up. Things can always get better. See?

Winter after winter, Jakob built his house of snow.

I have to go saw up today's firewood.

Hurry back and finish the table before it gets dark.

Alma!

Alma!

Alma…

Sure, sure.

Is Grandma in heaven now?

Yes, she's in heaven with Grandpa.

Grandpa went there ahead of her.

And now Grandma has joined him. Now they're together again.

I guess you know who we are.

Most of what he had was stolen.

He stole on the boat he was on before he came here.

Before that, he'd stolen in lots of places.

Thievery was like part of his nature.

But you still have credit, Tea. Know that.

When you need something from the store.

You don't have a man now, but I'll give you credit instead.

Surely you helped, Karl Orsa?

Surely you did what you could to help them catch him?

Here's next year's rent in advance. Down to the penny.

Count it here or at home. I want the purse back afterwards.

Is it stolen money?

I don't want you saying another word about Jakob.

If you're waiting for me play for you, I can tell you that I won't.

I'm still debt free. When I start owing you, I'll play for you.

Then you're entitled to the music.

Not before.

Dammit, don't stand there and daydream, Jani!

You scared me, Jani.

What's happened? Look at you, boy.

-It'll heal soon. -Let me see.

-How is Eva? -Eva is in the cow shed.

She's trying to teach Sara and Rakel how to milk.

We're set for now.

Here, take what you need for the rent. You can count it out yourself.

-Is it your last coins? -Don't you have it in you?

No need to be gentle. What's right is right.

I don't need to count it. I can see from here that it's not enough.

It's not even half the rent.

And I won't take your last coins.

I'm not an evil man.

Ängla, our cow. You can take her.

A whole cow.

If that's not enough, I don't know what would be enough.

We'll run out of hay by March, anyway.

I'll have a look at her.

Sores on the teats and the udder's empty.

You could slaughter her.

There's no meat on her.

Nothing but bones.

-Like an empty hay rack. -What about the skin?

Hides don't sell. No one buys hides.

Jani? Go outside.

Come on. We're going to Eva in the cow shed.

Get back to the shoe hay.

Markström's Store

Why are you here again, Karl Orsa?

You were here yesterday and got what you were owed.

You got the rent payment yesterday.

Over there.

Is your memory failing, Karl Orsa?

That's not why I'm here.

-What's that? -An almanac.

What would I do with her? I never read the almanac.

And you're not giving me her for nothing. You have some ulterior motive, Karl Orsa.

No, I don't.

I thought the children could look through it.

I don't want to owe more than I already do.

It's free. Even if you accuse me of one thing, I can't be guilty of everything.

It says in the Bible, "he who sins in one point doesn't have to be guilty of all."

Just take the almanac.

Tea Alexisdaughter - Kullmyrliden

Boy child - Johan Olof Father Anton Johansson

Girl child - Eva Kristin Father unknown

Girl child - Sara Father Jakob Granström

Girl child - Rakel Father Jakob Granström

Girl child Father unknown

What do I do with this plate? Is it like some kind of receipt?

Her name will be Tilda, not Lovisa or anything else.

I thought you'd like it.

It's from Germany.

So it's not because you're her father?

Only our Lord knows who fathered your children, Tea.

Almanac 1863 Markström's Store

Girl child - surrendered

Father unknown

Almanac 1864

Tea…

How are you?

I think it's time.

Boy child - stillborn

Father unknown

Do you want to know how much it costs, Eva?

There's real velvet in the lid.

Look, Mom. I have violinist hands.

I'm meant to play the violin.

Will you play together? You on the organ and Eva on the violin?

Show what you can do, Eva.

Thank you, Jani.

Who's that over there?

Do you see who it is?

Jakob!

Good, Jakob…

It's nice to have you back.

-What's on your mind, Jani? -Jakob has returned.

Surely you remember Jakob?

The man you got sent to prison.

So from now on, Karl Orsa, it will just be cash.

And I'll earn a living.

As well.

That's how it is, Karl Orsa.

That's just how it is.

So he's like some miracle worker, this Jakob?

Is that blood?

Yes… You won't be earning a living for a long time, boy.

"The Lord is my shepherd. I shall not want.

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures.

He leadeth me beside the still waters.

He restoreth my soul.

He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death…

I will fear no evil.

For thou art with me.

Thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

Thou preparest…"

Happy 35th birthday.

Jakob!

You're crazy, Jakob.

I can't see.

Where did you get this?

He's crazy.

"Love not sleep, lest thou come to poverty."

We haven't slept. We were playing over in Kattisliden.

Over in Skellet, they say there are expensive times ahead.

When you don't have any money, you don't have to worry about expensive times.

That's one advantage.

Expensive times are worst for those who have money.

As a trader, you need to have cash.

If you don't have cash, you have to give up trading.

Maybe you'd like some more to drink?

The rent.

You've haven't had a rent increase since my father died.

Jakob!

Jakob! You have to get out the money!

He's gone now.

You're so cold.

How are you, Jakob? Do you want some food?

Do you want some food, Jakob?

Have you slept in a barn?

Jani?

Are you awake, Jani?

Have you seen Jakob?

You have to come! It's Jakob!

Oh my god!

Jakob!

Come down, Jakob!

Is that a gun on his lap?

-A hunting rifle. -But he doesn't own a gun.

He came in this morning and wanted to buy it.

I gave it to him on credit.

Do you think he'll shoot?

Did Karl Orsa cause this just to get people to his store?

Have some mercy on your children!

Every young one needs their father!

Remember all the things we've planned to do, Jakob!

The farm plot behind the cow shed! And the horse!

Company work in Holmsund!

Payday once a week!

No, he's still sitting there. It will take more to get him down.

-Look! -What the hell?

The gun.

-What is it? -The gun, no one will buy it.

It's used now, so I thought…

What would I do with it?

Your boy Jani could use it.

He could shoot himself a squirrel.

Traps work just fine.

Can I?

Well, maybe a hare.

Or a wood grouse.

It's correct. But wait, Tea.

I thought we were done here.

Jakob had his own page.

I've crossed out his name and written yours instead.

That's the thing about debts, someone has to take them on.

"Snaps, snaps, snaps, snuff, snaps.

Boots, necklace shiny metal.

Snaps, snuff, snaps, snuff, snuff."

You can have the necklace back. You can cross that out from the book.

What would I do with that? Necklaces don't sell.

Jakob was the only one.

You're not alone, Tea. Almost no one in the village is debt free.

Even the landed farmers are in my book.

No, no one is free of debt.

Except one, Karl Orsa. Surely you don't have any debts?

Let's stick to talking about money. Money debts are their own thing.

Not to mention interest.

-Interest? -Surely you know what interest is?

Haven't you read the Bible?

-Of course I've read the Bible. -Then you know.

Even Jesus Christ said that you should charge interest.

You're evil and lazy if you don't charge interest.

If you're in debt to our Lord, you have to be forgiven from time to time.

It's the same with interest on money debts.

It's like God's forgiveness for not being able to pay all at once.

When will you collect the interest, Karl Orsa?

I can't charge you interest.

That wouldn't do.

The famine year 1867, the year of great weakness.

How old is she now? 17?

She's just turned 16.

But big for her age.

You've turned old.

Time passes no one by.

But you're holding up well, Karl Orsa.

Maybe we should settle our business.

I could put out something to drink.

And Eva has learned a few pieces you haven't heard yet.

I've thought a lot about you, Tea.

Maybe you should unburden yourself.

Your boy is almost earning a proper living.

And your oldest girl is fully grown.

What would I unburden myself of? I don't have anything to unburden myself of.

The rent. The debts.

It is what it is. We do the best we can.

None of us can do more.

I want to settle up with Eva.

Unless Jani can bring home the money.

It would be easiest if I could settle up with Eva.

I'd rather have you kill me, Karl Orsa.

I'm not an evil man, I just want an arrangement.

My children aren't goods to trade.

But I'm sweet on her.

Don't you understand that?

I'm sweet on her.

She's your half-sister.

Ol Karlsa is her father.

You're half siblings.

I went to see the priest. She doesn't have a father.

"Father unknown," the priest said. It can't be Ol Karlsa, he wasn't unknown.

If you don't want an arrangement, I'll have to turn to the law.

Justice must prevail. Then I can't do anything, Tea.

You can take everything, but you're not touching Eva.

Our Lord can still provide a miracle.

Our Lord can still provide a miracle.

Once you lose hope, you lose everything.

-Where is Eva? -She went to get Tilda.

Why didn't she stay overnight?

She always enjoys visiting Aunt Lina.

The potatoes are going soft.

Here she is. She only has three teats, so I'll reduce the price.

As far as Sara and Rakel…

I can find them work as maids.

It's time for them to leave home.

And earn their keep.

Johansson.

Don't take that straight to Crazy Ida.

-What money is that? -I'm paying down the debt.

You should save your money.

Don't just throw away your money.

This money is enough to cover the rent!

Eva has already paid the rent. And don't worry about the credit.

What do you mean, Karl Orsa…?

Take it and enter it in your book. Deduct it from the debt.

Take the money.

Are you dense, Jani?

I don't want your money.

What I write in the book is none of your concern.

I won't quibble anymore with you, Karl Orsa. I'll never understand you.

You go the way of a serpent upon a rock.

Yes…

I would like a pound of soap.

What money is that?

Karl Orsa came by and gave it to Tilda.

You shouldn't have taken it.

He insisted. It was impossible to say no.

I wish I could understand why.

Why did you do that, Jani?

You can even get money on credit.

They're here now.

Help me with the organ, Eva.

Good evening.

-Listen, Tea… -Yes?

We'll manage just fine with just Eva and the violin.

-What do you mean? -There aren't that many of us.

It would make things easier.

It can't be fun to shuttle back and forth just to play dance music at your age.

There's nothing I'd rather do than play the harmonium.

But still…

I want Jani to go with.

Yeah, yeah.

I want Jani to go with. He's out in the forest and will be right back.

Come outside and get some air.

-She's from Åmsele. -Who's from Åmsele?

I don't know her name.

Whose name don't you know?

She is…

She's Karl Orsa's new maid.

She works in the store sometimes.

Two, three, four…

Thank you.

Her name is Johanna.

She plays.

She has an uncle in Mårdsele who has a harmonium.

She calls me Johan.

…92, 93, 94, 95,

96, 97, 98, 99, 100.

I think I'll go to the store.

What will you buy? You don't have any money.

Be wary of credit, Jani.

It's second-rate and priced accordingly.

Come see me when the last light goes out

Markström's Store

Too bad about my arm.

I'm not the man I used to be.

Her name will be Sabina.

After the day she was born.

Thank you so much for the nice plate, Karl Orsa.

Don't mention it.

Can I have the violin?

Jani, take Tilda to the cow shed.

-Relax. -Mom!

Keep going.

-It's over now. -How did it go?

Suit yourself, Jani! I'm warning you!

There's your boy.

-So he was never alive? -He was already dead when her water broke.

He's nice and big.

He was insatiable and ate himself to death in the womb.

-A handsome boy. -He was unnatural.

He almost sucked the life out of Eva through the umbilical cord.

Yes, she must be totally spent after this.

What do you want us to do with him?

You just bury stillborn babies. No need for a proper funeral.

But he doesn't look like a stillborn baby.

He looks like a fully developed person.

I can take him.

Take your baby, Karl Orsa.

If anyone's entitled to him, it's you.

I thought that I wouldn't collect any rent this year.

You'll get a free year.

I've thought a lot about you.

You still get the almanac.

I guess no one plays the violin anymore?

No. I hung it there on the wall.

As a decoration.

It's like a reminder of Eva--

I think I have a buyer for it. In Risliden. Where's the bow?

It's in the box.

That's good.

I think I'll need the box as well.

Don't you like it?

What is it, Mom?

I'm scared, Mom!

What's your business here, Karl Orsa? I have things to do.

I've been thinking about Tilda. She's an orphan now.

I'm not planning on having children of my own.

-What do you mean? -I was thinking I'd take her in.

She would be a foster child, not some lodger.

Can I be in the store?

With the sugarloaves?

Yes, with the sugarloaves.

Four!

Four!

Five!

Five!

Six!

It was you, you devil!

I have no arm left!

Blame your own stupidity!

-That's enough. -No, Jani, a bit more.

So that's what you do.

-Does it do any good? -Get up, Jani.

You know what date it is today.

The 8th… of January.

I could've come by yesterday.

But I wanted to give you that day.

I want to settle up with Johanna.

No way.

Not as long as I'm alive.

So what will you do? You don't have money for the rent.

And I can't settle up with Johanna. So what will you do?

You don't know. You can think on it.

Until tomorrow.

I'm not inhuman.

I don't want music. Leave the music be.

Are you sure the children are sleeping?

They're sleeping.

They're sleeping and Jani went to Granberget with his gun.

It's nice to clear your debts, right?

Eight riksdaler is a lot of money.

No…

No person can live with debts in the long run.

You're so pretty, Johanna.

You grow more mature every day.

Aren't you coming?

You don't need to bother with the blouse. It's enough if you pull up your skirts.

I don't want you to be cold. But take off the apron. It would get in the way.

Come here, Johanna.

Help me with my shoes, Johanna.

Will we go to prison?

You can rest easy, Johanna.

He won't report it.

One year later.

All is calm

All is bright

Round yon virgin mother and child

Holy infant, so tender and mild

Sleep in heavenly peace

Christ the Savior is born

How about we settle up, Johanna?

You can't do it anymore, Karl Orsa.

Not after the treatment I gave you.

In that regard, you're like a cripple now.

It feels like it wouldn't be totally impossible.

It almost feels like… it wouldn't be totally impossible.

You play as beautifully as ever, Johanna.

It's not because he desires it. It's just because of the debts.

It's evil, pure evil.

No one can defend him, but he's still human.

What do you mean by that? Is his defense that he's human?

Yes.

So humans can't be to blame simply because they're human?

Yes. Yes.

You can't come in, Karl Orsa.

But we need to talk about the surety.

-What surety? -The surety.

130 kronor.

I've been to Skellet and learned how they do things down south.

Those who don't pay the surety must be evicted. That's the law.

130 kronor? More money than I've ever seen.

I can't do anything about that. We all have the law above us.

You're disorderly, Jani.

You can't live like you do, without things in proper order.

Just day to day.

But what will happen to us?

I'm responsible for the place.

I've been given that responsibility.

What about Alexis? And Eva and Sabina? The young children?

They're not my children.

Tilda is my only child. I have court papers saying that.

Tilda Markström is my only child.

But the children are blameless.

What does our Lord say about such an order?

It's the order itself that is our Lord.

You have to pay the surety before Midsummer's Eve.

Or you'll have to leave.

And we'll tear down the house.

Addendum to the secretary's annual report

to the Västerbotten County Agricultural Society, 1882.

During my travels through the Vindel River valley last October,

I spent a day at the place called Kullmyrliden,

where, in the middle of last decade,

a minor natural disaster is said to have occurred.

A young woman, Tilda Markström, who owns the local general store,

showed me to the place and insisted

that her father, the merchant Karl Markström,

lost his life in the landslide.

However, whether this is consistent with the truth is not for me to say.

These godforsaken backwoods people have an unfortunate propensity

to prefer stories to actual reality.

These people have no understanding of science.

That a collapse or landslide did occur should however be indisputable.

The place has been given the name Stornygrova.

Its location is marked on the attached map sheet with a cross.

Umeå, December 11, 1882.

Rutger Bygdelius, secretary.
