Stormskärs Maja
Premiere on April 3, 2025, with director Tiina Lymi in attendance and a Q&A afterwards!
In the 19th century, Maja, a young woman from mainland Finland, is married to the quiet and grounded fisherman Janne and must leave behind the home she knows. Together, they move to the remote island of Stormskär, where life is defined by the forces of nature and hard work.
Here, the couple learns to live together, to trust one another, and eventually, to love. Over the years, not only do their feelings deepen, but so does their mutual respect—sustained by a quiet strength that stems from Maja’s transformation and inner growth. Despite all hardships and the shadows cast by the Åland War on their lives, Maja finds a way to raise her voice and claim a measure of independence.
Based on the celebrated novel series by Åland author Anni Blomqvist, director Tiina Lymi captures the essence of this literary classic: a woman who grows through her challenges without losing her kindness and strength. In powerful images, Stormskärs Maja tells a story of love, self-discovery, and the beauty of resilience—a moving film that resonates with emotional depth.
