Tornedalen, on the border between Sweden and Finland. From here, many left in search of a better life on the coast in the north.
16 år gammel forlot min oldemor Tornedalen – det slake dalføret i grenseområdene mellom Sverige og Finland. Målet var et nytt liv i nord, ved havet som skulle gi rikdom. Men hvilket liv var det hun la bak seg – og hvordan ble livet i det nye landet?
Filmprosjekt under planlegging!
At the age of 16, my great-grandmother left Tornedalen – the gentle valley in the border areas between Sweden and Finland. The goal was a new life in the north, by the sea that would bring wealth. But what kind of life was she leaving behind – and what was life like in the new country?
Film project under planning!

Blir spennende å følge med etterhvert som historien og filmen tar form.

The picture is from Pekanpää (Ylitornio), where my garndfaters were born. Some of their sisters and brothers have moved to Norway. I’m intresting about the film.
