The narrative begins in the late 1830s, focusing on Gunnar Hede, a student grappling with the financial troubles of his family estate, Munkhyttan, which is on the brink of collapse. The book explores themes of duty, love, and self-discovery as Hede is pushed to re-evaluate his life choices, including his whimsical passion for music, through conversations with his peers and other characters. The opening portion provides a glimpse into Hede’s life at university and the significant pressures he faces regarding his family's legacy. As he engages in a heartfelt dialogue with a friend, Gustaf Alin, the implications of Munkhyttan’s potential sale weigh heavily on him. The narrative transitions between introspection and social interaction, revealing Hede's internal conflict and emotional turmoil. Furthermore, a subplot involving Ingrid, a young girl adopted by the pastor's family, hints at deeper existential inquiries about love and belonging, emphasizing the connections between characters and their pasts.
