Barbara (Viveka Seldahl), the first violinist in a Swedish philharmonic, is immediately, deeply attracted to Martin Fischer (Sven Wollter), a famous composer who is guest conducting his new work. Both Barbara and Martin are good-looking, middle-aged, and married to other people. Despite the obstacles, they fall passionately in love, and soon enjoy a blissful, charmed life together as husband and wife. They live in a quaint house by the sea, and work together on Martin's compositions. However, Martin begins displaying some unnerving behavior--he forgets his manager's name, and has sudden, terrifying moments of blankness where he doesn't recognize the house.
