A novel series by Anni Blomqvist telling about the life of a poor fisher family was made into a nationally famous film in 1975. A new version – the most expensive film ever made in Swedish in Finland – is being shoot in 2023 and will have its cinema première early in 2024. Blomqvist lived on Simskäla and based the plot on real events. The filming location, the small island Väderskär (more or less synonymously called Stormskäret, "Storm skerry", in the novels and the film) is often visited and you may be able to get a guided tour telling about the background, Blomqvist and the films.
