The emigrant family settles in Minnesota, and has to cope with hardship, the Civil War and the Dakota conflict.
Sinekatalog’s take
Jan Troell's sequel follows the Swedish emigrants settling in Minnesota amid hardship, war and the Dakota conflict. Max von Sydow and Liv Ullmann are again superb in a patient, moving continuation of The Emigrants.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
