Su una remota isola svedese, un uomo e un bambino stanno innaffiando un albero rinsecchito che hanno appena piantato in terra: secondo una antica favola giapponese il tronco, se curato con amore, rifiorirà... L'uomo è Alexander, artista e intellettuale a riposo, e il bambino è il suo figlioletto, reduce da una delicata operazione alla gola che gli impedisce di parlare. E' il giorno del compleanno di Alexander, e la moglie, il medico di famiglia e il postino - suoi unici amici - si preparano a festeggiarlo degnamente. Ma la serenità del momento è turbata da un improvviso rombo nel cielo e dai notiziari della televisione che annunciano lo scoppio di una guerra atomica...
