A father tells his young daughter goodbye and leaves. The girl experiences her own seasons, similar to how the vast Dutch landscapes do. She grows into a older woman, starts a family, but she never stops yearning for her father. They are reunited at the film's ending in what seems to be a dream sequence or possibly the afterlife.[2]
