In June 1853, the wealthy English doctor John Wolley arrives in Tornedalen in his search for rare bird eggs.
The plan is to stay here for a few weeks but in the end he will spend most of the next four years in the area. In order to succeed, Wolley learns Finnish, how to ski and how to drive after reindeer. The well-paid egg collection engages many of the area's people as a rescue from the stunting and starvation they experience. Munaherra Eggherren becomes his name among the Finnish-speaking population.
