To celebrate a lifelong marriage, Gerda (Bodil Jørgensen) and Kristoffer (Kristian Halken) travel to Rome to relive the city where Gerda was once an aspiring art student. When they run into her former teacher and lover Johannes (Rolf Lassgård), Gerda is reminded of the life she used to live, and Kristoffer is sidelined while Gerda wanders the streets of the Eternal City in search of her long- lost youth.
