Il famoso direttore d'orchestra Victor fa ritorno a casa alla notizia della morte della madre. Il musicista è professionalmente impegnato con la elaborazione del "Christmas Oratorio" di Bach, opera piuttosto difficile. Nella casa materna ritrova delle carte di famiglia e, fra queste, alcune lettere del padre, che ricorda appena. Una nuova luce si accende sulla storia della sua famiglia e su quella della nonna Solveig, grande estimatrice dell'opera che sta preparando, morta prematuramente per un banale incidente.
