To make ends meet, Maria occasionally works as a photographer. She also records her family's extraordinary life and shares it on her blog Wildandfree. Unexpectedly, Maria falls ill and dies fairly quickly. Life will never be the same after that. Her death leaves the family facing big changes. Nik is forced to sell the farm and reluctantly he and his children have to let go of their isolated lifestyle and become part of modern society. The three youngest siblings stay with Nik, while their half-sister Ronja goes to live with her father in the city. Ronja tries desperately to reconnect with her siblings and 10-year-old Freja becomes the rock of the family, taking care of her younger brothers and father.  All the while, Maria's photos and stories keep her memories alive and connect her to the family.
