The photographer is in Ångermanland, more precisely in the village of Näs outside Örnsköldsvik. Here he follows the Karlsten family for a few days and makes a nostalgic time document for future generations. Mrs. Anna Karlsten who is both the housewife but also the farmer's wife and manager. She is the owner of the family company Kornsj?002000540072?00760061ru AB. Here, the daughter Ebba Karlsten who works in the open with dyeing wool, a knowledge that was already considered almost forgotten in 1942 due to industrialization. A simple but practical wood-burning water heater makes the job easier. In Europe, the Second World War rages while life goes on as usual in Sweden in 1942. Kristoffersson ref 226-22
