Reidar Jönsson

Religious and cultural reawakening inspires rebellion in a 19th century Norwegian village.

Summer holiday is over. Nora begins sixth grade and is drawn to intrigues and doesn't really know what side she's on. Or wants to be on. On one hand she feels sorry for the bullied Karin, one the other hand she wants to be friends with tough Fanny and Sabina.

16-year-old Emma has a dream - her boyfriend Tommy, has a completely different one. Emma is less at the slow small town life; Tommy wants to get married and buy houses like everyone else.

Four men who dream of sailing around the world build a sailboat. They live in the same area and the families socialize. The plan is that their wives shall join the trip in turns.

A recently separated ladies' magazine reporter, a young couple who are in love, an unfaithful but jealous crane driver, a longing father and his unknowing daughter, the home coming fisherman's son who seeks reconciliation with his parents, the farmer who thirsts for tenderness. We meet them all in Svenska hjältar, a modern saga about the chipped heroes of everyday life.
