An American filmmaking couple retreat to the Swedish island of Fårö to work, where the legendary film director Ingmar Bergman lived and worked.

A couple of American filmmakers, Chris (P.T. Anderson’s Phantom Thread superstar Vicky Krieps) and Tony (Tim Roth) retreat to the mythical Fårö island for the Summer. In this wild, breathtaking landscape where Bergman lived and shot his most celebrated pieces, they hope to find inspiration for their upcoming films. As days spent separately pass by, the fascination for the island operates on Chris and souvenirs of her first love resurface. Lines between reality and fiction will then progressively blur and tear our couple even more apart.

The bottom of the Bifurto Abyss, 700 meters below Earth, is reached for the first time.
