- Synopsis
- While Kristín’s soon to be ex, Helgi, tries
  to win her back, she needs to resolve the
  complicated past with Ragnar, her old
  flame and the local policeman, however
  uncomfortable it may be.
  Becoming the first doctor in the village
  in a long time, she quickly finds herself
  far out of her comfort zone as her
  pragmatic ideals are in sharp contrast
  with the village’s use of herbal medicine,
  spiritualism and psychic powers. The
  clinic has been run by a nurse and
  receptionist who fight to keep things as
  they were – and in their opinion, should
  be. Kristin’s strict scientific worldview
  doesn’t go down too well with the psychic
  experience of her mother and daughter,
  causing both tension and friction in
  their relationships. Lilja finds comfort
  in her grandmother‘s company but also
  experiences love for the first time further
  complicating things. Kristin’s move to her
  childhood village was meant to be only
  temporary, but perhaps she needs the
  village just as much as it needs her.
