Episodes
Bjerkreim
Tønne's Martin Dyrskog grew up on a roadless farm by Ørsdalsvatnet in Bjerkreim in Rogaland, but after an accident he moved to another remote farm, Røysland, in Lund municipality. Here he and his wife go with car and tractor on a scary farm road, and where it is too steep and rocky for the motor mower, he goes with the scythe. The trees will not grow again, even though he knows he will be the last user on Røysland.
Bø
Ellen Marie Hansteensen has a past as a freelance journalist, and she has worked for international peacekeeping forces in the Middle East. But one day the Ausland woman broke with the hectic life she was living and sought shelter at Litløy lighthouse in Bø in Vesterålen. Here she lives with two cats, but now she plans to start tourism, so that more people can share in the paradise she has found.
Jondal
Arne Bakke Mælen had a share in the remote small farm Mælen in Jondal in Hardanger. But the slopes were steep, and when he took over, the houses were falling down. Instead of working the land, he turned the yard into an art and culture centre, with a gallery, party room and workshop. He himself is a craftsman who works with wood, and who takes impressive pictures and spins matchless balls.
Hitra
Ingvar Aabrek Klingenberg, village boy from Trondheim, former museum director and art historian, has settled in a small remote cabin in Hitra, where the family had a holiday resort. He has no running water, he has no road to the yard, he cooks his food on grass, and what little electricity he has, he gets from a solar panel. But there Klingenberg sits and writes literary works about art history.
Vikabråten
Yvonne and Ole Jacob Christensen run the small farm Vikabråten in Vestre Slidre, and they run it as it was run in the interwar period. They have no other electricity than what they get from a small solar panel, and they have no other road than a heavy and steep cart road. The horse pulled the plow through the snowdrifts, the iron plow through the potato field and the sled with hay the mile-long road from the mountain hut.
Skindalen
Anne Vågen Skindalen lives in a mountain valley on Hardangervidda together with three or four cows. She gets her income by churning butter and selling it to the convenience store in Rauland - three miles away. In the winter she drives a snowmobile, in the summer she rides a quad bike, before she has to hire a man with a boat and a car. In spring and autumn, hoes can be isolated for weeks. But in Skindalen she will stay all her days until the end.

When Calls the Heart
When Calls the Heart is inspired by Janette Oke's bestselling book series about the Canadian West, the series tells the captivating story of Elizabeth Thatcher, a young teacher accustomed to her high society life, who receives her first classroom assignment in Coal Valley, a small coal mining town where life is simple, but often fraught with challenges. Upon arrival, Elizabeth befriends Abigail Stanton, a wife and mother whose husband, the foreman of the mine, along with a dozen other miners, has just been killed in an explosion. The newly widowed women find their faith is tested when they must go to work in the mines to keep a roof over their heads. Set against the wild canvas of a 19th century coal town, Elizabeth will have to learn the ways of the frontier if she wishes to thrive in the rural west on her own.
Wild Cards
Wild Cards follows the unlikely duo of a gruff, sardonic cop and a spirited, clever con woman. Ellis, a demoted detective, has unfortunately spent the last year on the maritime unit, while Max has been living a transient life elaborately scamming everyone she meets. But when Max gets arrested and ends up helping Ellis solve a local crime, the two are offered the opportunity to redeem themselves, with Ellis going back to detective and Max staying out of jail. The catch? They have to work together, with each using their unique skills to solve crimes. For Ellis, that means hard-boiled shoe leather police work; for Max, it means accents, schemes and generally befriending everyone in sight, while driving Ellis absolutely nuts. Against the backdrop of beautiful Vancouver — with all its unique, charming, and even contradictory neighbourhoods and subcultures — the two will have to learn what it means to trust another person and maybe actually become partners.
