Novembre 1999. Après le décès de son épouse, Trond Sander, âgé de 67 ans, s'est retiré d'Oslo dans un petit village de l'est de la Norvège. Le millénaire touche à sa fin et il semblerait que ce soit aussi le cas de la vie de Trond. Une nuit d'hiver, il reconnaît soudain une vieille connaissance de sa jeunesse en son voisin, Lars. Leur rencontre nous rappelle des souvenirs de 1948, année où Trond passa tout un été dans une simple cabane en bois au bord de la rivière avec son père qu'il admirait beaucoup. Longs après-midi dans la forêt, promenades en chevaux sauvages et travail acharné à l'abattage du bois commencent à se fondre dans une série d'images du bonheur sans soucis mais aussi d'expériences fatidiques.
