A grieving widower moves to the country where a chance encounter rekindles memories from his past.
November 1999. 67-year-old Trond (Stellan Skarsgård) lives in new-found solitude and looks forward to spending New Year's Eve 2000 alone. As winter arrives he discovers he has a neighbour, a man Trond knew back in 1948, the summer he turned 15 and the summer his father prepared him to carry the burden of his forthcoming betrayal and disappearance.
