Ээро не говорит по-шведски и чувствует себя неуютно в приёмной семье и чужой стране, отчаянно скучая по родной матери. Однако все долгожданные письма от неё адресованы не ему, а Сигне. Случайно прочитав одно не предназначавшееся для его глаз письмо, Ээро узнаёт о предательстве матери, но именно это разбивает барьер между ним и матерью приёмной. Однако история вершит своё: война заканчивается, детям пора возвращаться и заново привыкать к родине.

Фильм о детстве, о взрослении и о том, что нужно всегда стоять на своём, даже если под ногами болотная топь. Маленькая Элина приходит на болото, чтобы разговаривать со своим умершим отцом, который однажды показал ей, как пройти в самое сердце трясины. Для неё — это свой мир, своё урочище, где она прячется от серой действительности тяжелой деревенской жизни. Здесь у неё тихие, неспешные разговоры с папой обо всём. Там — маленькая финская деревня в Северной Швеции; придирчивая фрекен Хольм, которая поставила себе задачу обучить «этих неблагодарных маленьких финнов» шведскому языку, разумеется, насильственно, потому что только так ей представляется возможным «внести порядок в хаос». Для Элины же хаос — это прежде всего несправедливость, нечестность. Вот почему она стоит на своём, всегда слыша голос своего погибшего отца: «Иди, иди дальше! Не оступись!» И тогда её замученная жизнью мама преподнесёт ей в конце неожиданный сюрприз.
