The story is composed of fragments of lives lived in northern Scania. Some of them are mundane, while others border on the magical. But like shadows over the landscape, some protagonists are distinguished: Beata, a seasonal worker who comes to Sweden for the first time; Aaron, a young man with a broken heart returning to the place where he grew up, and Billie, a girl lost in her first summer vacation.
