Evert Persson sells his farm, cattle and implements by auction. The dwelling-house is bought by a young couple, Björn and Lotta Mohlin, who converts it into a summer house. The Persson family moves to a modern apartment in one of the new, big suburbs outside Gothenburg. Per Löfgren announces that he too will leave the village soon, going back to the sea as a sailor.
