A portrait of Swedish troubadour Cornelis Vreeswijk.

A young girl dreams of a birthday party, where family and friends from her day-care center are invited. But in fact, her parents are always quarreling.

Helga Wedin is a middle age widow. Her husband spent all their money on horse racing and now she sits on a parceled small farm, in a forgotten village in the North of Sweden.
