• Lo is raised by her extended family in a ramshackle house they share in southern Sweden.
• She enjoys a sheltered, idyllic, safe childhood, but everything changes when, at six years old, she makes a new friend.
• Lukas is thirteen and came from Hungary with his father when he was five.
• He struggles at school and has no companions of his own age.
• A fire in a field brings them together, when Lukas helps the family contain the blaze, and the two become inseparable.

• The two are compelled to meet in secret, sleeping side by side in a shed by the lake every summer.
• For Lo's fifteenth birthday, Lukas buys a car to take her to the Tivoli pleasure gardens in Copenhagen.
