Together with its companion movie, Utvandrama (The Emigrants) made a year earlier this film is a moving and realistic depiction of the lives and hard times suffered by so many 19th century emigrants to the America.
When the phrase 'the American dream' is used almost as a cliche, it would be good if those wanting to appreciate the real meaning of the phrase saw in the characters portrayed here the lives of those to whom that dream was a beacon of hope in a desperately hard world.
Neither of these movies will appeal to those who want to see a glamourised and exciting West so loved by Hollywood, but in the hearts of those who think that, sometimes at least, films should serve the higher good of telling the truth, these movies are little gems.
