Minna is a simple worker who won't marry a well-off boyfriend but poor man Aksel who has got nothing more than his accordion and love towards Minna. But living in poverty and hard work do not distress her. It is important for her to find her own home where children would run around and Aksel would play his accordion. In this remote forest house love works miracles but one thing it cannot do - to put the madness of the outer world at a safe distance.
