Porslinsfasaderna

The ironworks that kept Eriksfors alive has closed, and in this northern Västmanland village of the hippie-era seventies the Silver family makes money from what is left behind, selling off the belongings of the dead. On auction days Knud stands in the yard knocking down tools, china and rolls of woven rugs to neighbours and holidaymakers. Their farm, Löftet, has bred deceit, uncanny foresight and coldness for generations. The daughter of the house has her own ideas about the future and goes through with them. Three brothers and sisters, each marked by their mother's bitter, consuming disappointments, face the choice of pursuing what they want or burying it.
