Having gone through many personal struggles, Eli (Lil Terselius) returns to her native village and begins to work on the farm of Ingeborg Eriksdotter (Anita Bjork), eventually tending a plot that once belonged to her family. But Eli has been gone a long time, and the opaque villagers see her as an outsider—she is suspicious from the start. The year is 1625, and stories of witches conjuring up evil are a part of the daily culture. Eli unwittingly makes matters worse for herself when she is able to cure the sick with herbs, and when she begins an affair with Aslak (Bjoern Skagestad) a farmhand—clearly she must have cast a spell on him. This all adds up to a witch hunt with a ready-made "witch." Eli, in the end, is officially accused of witchcraft by a devious bailiff, while Ingeborg makes every attempt to save her, and Aslak himself does not survive the stress—hardly a good omen for the outcome of the trial.

In a war-ridden and occupied Norway of the future, two young refugees steal an item of great importance from the occupiers. Pursuers ever on their tail, their story guides us through the magnificent Northern landscape, now tattered with the remnants of war and broken industry. On their journey they come across other people, all challenged in their humanity as they try to survive in a Norway that is no longer a land of plenty. The boys must balance brotherhood and ruthless pragmatism. Their childhood is already gone.
