O Pioneers!

Told in five parts, O Pioneers! follows the Bergsons, a family of Swedish-American immigrants farming the prairie of Nebraska at the turn of the 20th century. After the death of her father, Alexandra and her brothers inherit the family farm, and struggle to keep it.

As the Nebraskan farming community grows and her older brothers build families and comfortable lives, Alexandra remains, attached to the land, her youngest brother, Emil, and her neighbor, Marie Shabata. These three central characters navigate duty, familial pressures, tragedy, and an uncertain romance.
