The most successful Finnish film in the country's cinema history based on the bestselling novel series by Anni Blomqvist!

In the 19th century, Maja, a young woman from mainland Finland, is married to the quiet and down-to-earth fisherman Janne and has to leave her familiar home behind. Together they move to the remote island of Stormskär, where life is characterized by the forces of nature and hard work.
Here the couple learns to live together, to trust each other and ultimately to love each other. Over the years, not only do their feelings for each other grow, but also their mutual respect - borne by a quiet strength that springs from Maja's change and inner growth. Against all odds and the shadows cast on her life by the Åland War, Maja finds a way to speak out and gain her independence.
Based on the acclaimed series of novels by Åland author Anni Blomqvist, director Tiina Lymi captures the essence of this literary classic: a woman who grows through her challenges without losing her kindness and strength. In impressive images, Stormskär's Maja tells of love, self-development and the beauty of constancy - a moving film that touches with its intensity.
