Utvandrarna (Die Auswanderer)

This monumental epic recounts the journey of a Swedish farming family to America in 1850 and their struggles to put down roots in this beautiful yet inhospitable new world. Max von Sydow and Liv Ullmann deliver authentic performances as Karl Oskar and Kristina, a couple who must endure one physical and emotional ordeal after another on their arduous journey. The precision and attention to detail in the couple’s story are impressive – and stand as a testament to the stories of countless others who sought a better life across the Atlantic.
