Isak, a taciturn man from nowhere in particular, walks north into the empty moorland of Norway, picks a patch of ground and begins to clear it. Inger — a woman with a harelip, and therefore hard to marry off — finds her way to him and stays. Out of those four hands rises the farm of Sellanraa: a roof, a first cow, a first harvest, children. Then the world Isak walked away from catches up with him: the law, a prison sentence, money, and a copper mine that turns the wilderness into a worksite.
