Fredrik Welin, a retired doctor, lives alone on a Swedish island. Harriet, a former love he abandoned, is ill and asks him to fulfil a youthful promise: to take her to a lagoon in the north. That journey forces him to confront his past and to meet Louise, the daughter whose existence he was unaware of; the bonds formed while caring for Harriet allow him to atone for his guilt.
