The Åland islands in western Finland are an archipelago situated about 40 km (24 miles) from the Swedish coast. Summer lasts only a few weeks there, and during this period, nature-loving tourists flock to the skerries and islands. But in winter, when temperatures drop, loneliness descends.
Once a week a tiny mailboat supplies Ake and Monica Finnermann, who live in complete isolation on the island of Björkö. As much as they love the Finnish summer and its long days and many visitors, they can’t imagine a life without peaceful winters. As long as they are able to, they want to live alone on the island.
