Gérard and his wife Inger, who was for a long time a soloist at the Stockholm opera, decided one day to restore an abandoned presbytery on a peninsula in the vast forest of Norrland, on the shores of the Lake Havern. The population there numbers a mere 11 inhabitants.
How is the Swedish model doing in Ånge? In this commune located in the centre of Sweden, life appears to have stood still, frozen in fear of the new, of change and of being different. Yet the need for new projects and jobs, and the beauty of the great lakes and their islands, inspired in the foreign couple a wild project of sustainable tourism - living in total harmony with nature, in a solar-powered house on the small island.
