Lydia grows up an only child on a smallholding in northern Jämtland, trains as a vet and settles in a small Norwegian village. Through the seasons and the routines of country work she rarely sees her parents, and though her diligence wins trust, loneliness is the condition of her life, able to break a person yet also a source of happiness.
