But in the first episode, we first follow Clary's search for the family's roots in Värmland, from the croft and back to the farms they previously owned.

The farming era comes to an end for great-grandfather, who has to leave the farm. But why? The legal shift, the major land reform in the 19th century, led to Clary's great-grandfather being driven into bankruptcy and forced to leave the farm in Gräsbo village in Östervåla. In 1871, the self-employed farmer was forced to change his life and become an industrial worker in Gävle.
