The original novella is set in the Norwegian village of Berlevag. Gabriel Axel stayed very close to the original source, but he felt the original setting had become too colourful and pretty to evoke the bleakness described by Karen Blixen. He transposed the setting to Jutland in his native Denmark, where he had the wooden village houses built.
