Synopsis

Set in Gothenburg, Gustav Becker, a distinguished artist, is being prepared for a major retrospective in his career from the 1980s onwards. At the same time, a psychology student Rachel changes and meets her mysteriously missing mother's face on an exhibition poster that is wallpapered across town. In the same vein, Rachel's father, the publisher Martin Berg, is thrown into a dizzying life crisis.
