Klara has become pregnant and travels north to her childhood cabin. There, she finds a father who sets nets and curses the poor catch, but otherwise says little. And a mother who has developed a heart condition. An old family sorrow surfaces during the week Klara is home, forcing its way through the silence. The North Norwegian nature and its people are seen through Klara's eyes. Behind the camera, she pauses, sees everything more clearly, with calm and openness. Can she let go of the past, open herself up, and accept love and intimacy?
