Johannes, a moderately successful musician, receives a visit from his daughter Clara, who lives with her mother in the Netherlands. Everything is prepared for one of their usual brief encounters: the guest room is aired out, and the bathroom has been haphazardly cleaned. Clara is just passing through anyway; she’s planning to travel on to Korea the next day. But when her flight is delayed, father and daughter suddenly have more time than they know how to fill. What happens when there’s suddenly space to truly connect? Johannes suggests spending a few days at the old family cabin by the Baltic Sea. What begins euphorically becomes a journey of discovery, where music plays the leading role.

Andrea, a gifted young Polish violinist from Krakow, is bound for America when he is swept overboard by a storm. When the Widdington sisters discover the handsome stranger on the beach below their house, they nurse him back to health. However, the presence of the musically talented young man disrupts the peaceful lives of Ursula and Janet and the community in which they live.

Sophie reflects on the shared joy and private melancholy of a holiday she took with her father twenty years earlier. Memories fill the gaps between camcorder footages as she tries to reconcile the father she knew with the troubled man she didn't.
