The successful publisher Susanne Bredemeyer receives an extraordinary present from her husband Leo for her 60th birthday: a romantic country house in Sweden. Far away from everyday life, the two, whose marriage has become routine, want to make a fresh start. Arriving in Sweden, however, it quickly becomes clear to them that the omissions of the past few years are not so easy to make up for.
