Based on the popular book series by Anni Blomqvist, Tiina Lymi's epic 19th Century historical drama follows the lives of a couple who settle on a windswept island in the isolated Åland archipelago.
When the somewhat shy and absent-minded Maja (Amanda Jansson, Midnight Sun) marries Janne (Linus Troedsson), a man she barely knows, he wants them to settle on the outer skerries to be close to rich fishing grounds. The harsh and unforgiving islands make every day a struggle for survival, but also offers the couple a freedom where they can shape their own lives and existence. Over the years that follow, they will face many challenges, but these are interwoven with moments of happiness and love, and in time Maja discovers strengths she didn't believe she possessed...
A major box office hit in Finland in early 2024, the beautiful and moving STORMSKERRY MAJA surrenders to the magnificent landscape, delivering a meditation on life, death, lust, sorrow and love.
