The American filmmaker couple Chris and Tony retires for the summer on the island of Fårö. In this wild and beautiful landscape, where Ingmar Bergman lived and created some of his most acclaimed works, they hope to find inspiration for their upcoming films. Most of the time they spend separately. As the days go by, Chris' fascination with the island grows, and she begins to remember her first love. Chris and Tony are torn apart, little by little, as the lines between reality and fiction are gradually erased.
