A woman loses track of a child in a Reykjavik suburb and struggles with the consequences; a young artist takes desperate action when his girlfriend sinks into depression; a mid-century Reykjavik wife goes her own way despite attempts to silence her; and an asylum-seeker from Germany embraces her creative power in a new environment. In the fifth and final story, about a teenager in the eighteenth century who has one cherished dream, the core of the five stories is revealed: across time and space, the characters share the will to realize their dreams and create their own lives.
