75 year old Charles Jensen lives on his own with a dog and two horses at the far end of an isolated Norwegian fjord. He has no neighbors and no road connection but enjoys nothing more than spending the winter months hunting and skiing, spending the night in his own home-made tent.
Eikemo is a small village in a mountain valley with no road access. Six people inhabit this little hamlet and if the farms are to survive the two young unmarried goat-herders need to find wives and settle down. Will any of the summer helps fall in love with the place and their inhabitants and stay?
In Vassvika, two families have their home. They have no road and no quay and if the wind is too strong or the fjord is covered in ice, they are completely isolated from the rest of the world. While the men are away fishing, only two women remain, one is 95 years old, and the other is 25 and hails from China.
