Mia Sundström, an aspiring architect, wants to marry her business partner Tim Bratthall. Mia and Tim fly from their home in Stockholm to Gothenburg , where they attend a birthday party for Mia's fiancé father Lasse. At the party, Mia meets Frida, a teacher and the eldest daughter of Lasse's fiancé Elisabeth. Mia and Frida exchange many glances that indicate mutual attraction.
Since Lasse wants his daughter to get to know her future stepmother and stepsister better, he insists that Mia go with her on their weekend trip. Mia and Frida travel with Elisabeth to the Danish island of Fyn to the former summer house that Elisabeth and Lasse want to share. During the three-day excursion, Mia and Frida are forced to share a bedroom. During the weekend, Frida, an outed lesbian, continues to be fascinated by Mia, who reciprocates the feelings but thereby comes into conflict with her relationship with Tim. Mias and Frida's feelings for each other blossom, which eventually leads to sex. Then Mia returns to Stockholm with Tim, while Frida returns to her partner Elin.
However, both women are unable to forget their secret passionate time. It's up to Mia to either suppress her romantic feelings for Frida and move on with her wedding plans, or to break off her engagement to Tim and start a new life with Frida.
