Vardo

Christmas Eve 1617. A storm breaks over the Norwegian island of Vardø when the men of a small village are at sea fishing. Everybody dies. From that moment on, Vardø becomes an island of women, including Maren, who must deal with the death of her father, her brother and her fiancé. The women of the island try to do everything possible to get ahead, but soon the news reaches the authorities. Eighteen months later, a sinister figure arrives on the island from Scotland to end the anomalous rule of women: Commissioner Absalom Cornet. Traveling with him is his young wife, Ursa, who sees in Maren something she has never known: an independent woman. A relationship will emerge between the two that will change everything. But, for Absalom, Vardø is the home of a terrible and dark evil, one that he must eradicate at all costs.
