Finland
Amanda Aaltonen refuses to submit to the miserable fate reserved for a poor woman and boldly sets out to seek her fortune in the world. As punishment for breaking the rules, society takes from her the most precious thing of all—her freedom—and confines her to the island of Seili. An empowering and liberating story of undying hope, the search for life's meaning, unwavering friendship, and a love that shatters ancient class boundaries.
