Lena, a stage director, persuades her friend Karen to accompany her on a visit to the secluded summer house of her ex-husband Martin, a choreographer, on an island in the Stockholm archipelago. Martin left Lena five years earlier. Karen is married to Peter and they have a deaf-mute daughter, Anna. Peter tries in vain to convince Karen not to go away. On the island they are greeted by Martin. They also meet his friend Carl, a mentally disturbed ballet dancer. Carl is brother by guilt rather than blood, for Martin is somehow responsible for his breakdown.
