A year after her first meeting with August Strindberg, Baroness Siri Wrangel revolts against the conventions of her time and class, she leaves her husband and child to live with a young talented writer. Together, Siri and August want to start a life based on equality and mutual respect. Siri manages to fulfill her dream and become an actress. While Siri gets on the stage of the Royal Dramatic Theatre, August's star rises in the Swedish literary sky. "Red Room" and "Meister Olof" appear. However, the years spent in a Scandinavian artists' colony in France prove to be a test of marriage. The love story that started as a wonderful dream in 1875 turns into the worst nightmare by 1890.
