Since 1964, Tjorven, Båtsman, Uncle Melker, and Malin have lived in the hearts of generation after generation. In this short look back, we follow the journey from the children’s nervous screen tests to life behind the camera on the archipelago island where a TV classic took shape.

A writer spends the summer holidays with his children on an island. The family grows together through friendships with humans and animals and through adventures.

The children of Seacrow Island take a public ferry to visit a relative only to find that she has went to hospital. When they try to row back home they lose the oars and must take refuge on a desolate island. 4-year-old Skrallan is the first to discover that two colorful smugglers are hiding on the island.

Tjorven and the other children at Seacrow island have received a play day in a gift. Uncle Melker will find himself ending up in the lake several times. The kids also have found an old ship that will be named Albertina. They divide themselves into two pirate gangs and fights about the wishing stone Mysak.

The residents of Seacrow island get new problems when Malin and Peter get their first child - Skrållan.
