L'anziano professor Isak Borg, un luminare della medicina, si reca a ritirare un ambito riconoscimento nell'Aula Magna dell'Università di Lund. Prima di intraprendere il viaggio fa un sogno premonitore che lo invita a riconsiderare tutta la sua vita. Nel lungo viaggio lo accompagna la nuora Marianne che è in crisi con il marito, un uomo gelido ed egoista. La sosta presso la casa natale di Borg è l'occasione per ripensare al passato e ritornare nel "posto delle fragole".
