The river, with its millennia-long cycle from mountains to coast, has been a crucial prerequisite for animals and humans to survive and develop here. In our imagination, it becomes an image of life that constantly begins anew.
Using history and more or less true anecdotes, Curt Persson tells about the people who traveled along the river and those who settled there. There are stories from the time when the farms turned their faces towards the river and also stories about love. The river of life speaks many languages. Do we understand everything? Even the music has been shaped by the river and the voices of the people. The traditional songs and poems from the county's river valleys, where love, longing, betrayal, sorrow and joy are obvious elements of the performance. Songs about mining work, rally songs but also newly written songs, create a web of both oral and musical stories.
