the year is 1859. brita caisa is alone with two children. to give them the security they deserve, she straps on her skis and sets out on the long journey from finland to norway to find a man with whom she can build a safe life. along the way, what should not happen, happens.

brita caisa is a woman who leaves, a woman who dares to stand up against the judgement of others. the knife in the fire is a gripping story of work and love, strong solidarity and free eroticism, the individual and the authorities.
