About

It is the start of the holiday. Anna, Georg and their young son Georgie travel to their idyllic lakeside house. Their neighbours, Fred and Eva, are already there. They have arranged to play golf together for the next day. The weather is superb. While father and son are rigging up their freshly overhauled sailing boat, Anna prepares supper.
