In a picturesque Swedish village, the life of the Lindström family is shaken by the return of a prodigal son who has been abroad for years. The son, a dreamer with artistic aspirations, comes home with grand plans to transform his life and perhaps that of his family. However, what he finds upon his return is a household filled with latent tensions, unresolved conflicts, and family secrets that have remained silent for too long.
As he tries to reintegrate into his family’s life, he is faced with the harsh reality that things have changed. His mother, who always dreamed of a different life, is trapped in the monotony of day-to-day existence; his father, a strong-willed man, feels threatened by his son's ambition. Additionally, rivalries between the siblings intensify, each pursuing their own dreams and vying for parental approval.
Set against a backdrop of Swedish landscapes that contrast with the emotional turmoil of the characters, the story unfolds a blend of comedy and drama. With each revelation, the Lindström family is forced to confront their feelings, face their pasts, and find a way toward reconciliation. The son's return not only shakes the foundations of the home but also raises questions about love, expectations, and what it truly means to be part of a family.
