Synopsis
Things never quite work out when Anna and Magnus, recently separated, reunite with their three children in the rural village where they live with their mother. We witness the passing of the four seasons in this disintegrating relationship, scenes of an (ex)marriage striving to capture everyday moments, as if in this way they could be saved from oblivion in a hypothetical family album.
