This is a warm and human film.
Isak Borg is an aging medical professor who reassesses his life while journeying to his former university to receive an honorary degree. Borg travels with his estranged daughter-in-law Marianne and revisits many of the landmarks of his past, conjuring up memories of his family and of his onetime sweetheart Sara. Returning to the present, he meets a teenage girl who resembles the long-departed Sara.
These new characters eventually become intertwined with Borg's hazy flashbacks and fantasies, as the old man recalls the disappointments and disillusionments that have left him cold and guilt-ridden, attributes emphasized when he encounters his equally cold and resentful son.
