Two very poor but ambitious and industrious children live with their mother in Sweden at the turn of the twenttieth century. The soil they hoe is poor, their crab trap washes out to sea, and a weaving contest is lost to the gentry. With a little help from a Tomte and a lot of work on their part, they acquire some livestock and the promise of a happier future.
