In Kassjö outside Umeå, Erik and Laura want to build a house with an unusual technique – despite the fact that they have never built a house before. Their future home is to be built with straw bales and clay, and they have been preparing for years. The ambitious goal is not only a sustainable house but also an entirely new life stile – they want to become completely ,self sufficient. But one thing they do worry about – will they have the strength to complete it all?
