Asle, el protagonista, es un pintor afamado, viudo, que ha dejado el alcohol y busca sosiego mientras recuerda su vida. Sus relaciones sociales se limitan a dos personajes que muestran su otro yo, el que hubiera sido de haber tomado otras decisiones: Asle, con el mismo nombre, es un pintor separado del mundo, alcohólico, Asleik, el vecino de la granja de al lado, es pescador y granjero. Los tres se enfrentan a los grandes temas de la existencia: el amor, la muerte, la fe, el poder de la naturaleza.
