Dort eckt sie bei der Klassenlehrerin an, weil sie einem Schulfreund etwas auf finnisch erklärt. Und finnisch zu sprechen ist verboten in der nordschwedischen Dorfschule. Elina will sich nicht entschuldigen und wird von der Lehrerin fortan ignoriert. Verzweifelt rennt sie ins Moor. Dort wähnt sie sich in der Nähe ihres kürzlich gestorbenen Vaters. Eigentlich kennt sie die Wege, doch sie macht einen falschen Schritt und sinkt ein.
In rural Sweden of the early 1950s, little Elina goes to school again after recovering from tuberculosis, the same illness that has killed her father a few years earlier. Elina's family belongs to Finnish-speaking Finns frowned upon by a staunch schoolmistress who starts hounding Elina for questioning her authority. Elina's mother, sister, and a liberal young male teacher all try to mediate the ensuing battle of wills between Elina and Miss Holm. Elina finds consolation in wandering out on the dangerous marshlands to have imaginary conversations with her dead father. Written by Markku Kuoppamäki
