A true story about turning away from civilization starting over in the woods. Danish author Andrea Hejlskov is sure that she and her family cannot go on like this. She and her husband do not see any sense in their daily work anymore, the children are sitting in their rooms in front of the computers, and there are hardly any real conversations. It becomes obvious: this is not the life they want to continue living. They decide to change everything fundamentally and look for what really matters. And they want to get out into nature, away from civilization with its demands and limitations. When they are offered a cabin in a forest in Sweden, everything suddenly becomes very real. But the family needs to re-learn the most basic things in daily life, such as chopping wood, building a log cabin, cooking outdoors, how to behave when someone gets hurt or sick. Sometimes the problems are hard to deal with, sometimes the parents think about giving up, sometimes the adventures are great fun. With remarkable honesty, the Danish author Andrea Hejlskov reports of a radical decision. It is the story of a family whose members change their lives completly - and thus find a new life together.
