Independent, outspoken and adored by her students, private school teacher Rita fares less well with adults.

The last time we met Tinka, she introduced the Collection, where representatives from the four regions of the Kingdom of the Gnomes and a single person together ruled and decided. However, the new form of government does not work as Tinka had hoped, and she has therefore begun to doubt her abilities as the leader of the elves. When Ingi puts Tinka on the trail of a family secret, she and Lasse search for answers in the human world, and here Tinka awaits a surprise that puts the entire existence of the Kingdom of the Elves at risk.

Combining the exultant sweep of epic period drama with the subtle intimacy of biography in a social perspective, this is a tale of materially impoverished childhood, struggling early manhood and an unrequited first love turned into good musical fortune for Carl Nielsen, one of the great composers of the 20th century.
