Norway, 1893: In the northern Smøla island group, two very different young women are growing up, yet they are inseparably connected. Fifteen years ago on the same winter night, they were left as babies on different doorsteps in the village as infants. No one knows if Liv and Lucia are sisters or where they come from. Liv is progressive, curious, and adventurous and she even captures the attention of polar explorer Fridtjof Nansen. In contrast, Lucia yearns for domesticity, a traditional life, and wants to marry. When a young stranger arrives in the village, the differences between the women become apparent and their friendship is put to the test.
