Mia, who lives in Stockholm, comes to her small town of childhood to celebrate her father's birthday. There she finds herself scorned by her older sister; and she has to face her two sisters when her father decides to give her the cabin by the lake, a place much sought after by her two sisters. She visits a few people who still live in the small town and they all seem quite satisfied with the life they lead. However, as the story progresses, it becomes increasingly apparent that neither character feels good about her way of life.
