"Nesje, or the haymaker, as he is called, is a widower and has a son to take care of. He finds love anew with Serianna, a woman who smokes a pipe and gets Nesje to come along fishing pollock. Through a life with hard work and important choices, the herd of kids grows. Daily life is a struggle to give the family a dignified life, as it is for many people living in poverty along the fiord in Romsdal. The dream of a new start makes many sell, break up and leave for the promised land in the west. Gjertine, Serianna's sister, dreams of going, even though she is just a young girl. Letters from emigrants come, telling of a luscious, yet not all that welcoming prairie that is to become farms and homes.
The theatre production is based on the first novel in the series following the Nesje family from Rekneslia in Molde to the American prairie. A story that is not just a depiction of Edvard Hoem's ancestors, but also a piece of Norwegian history."
