Plot summary
Johan Borg is a painter who dislikes company, and he and his wife Alma, married seven years, pass their summers in a cabin on the isolated island of Baltrum. He sleeps badly and fears the dark, and instead of confiding in Alma he records his visions in a diary he keeps under the bed, giving them names, among them the Birdman and the Lady With a Hat. A visitor to the house urges Alma to read the diary, and in its pages she finds his visions and a woman from his past, Veronica Vogler. The castle on the island belongs to Baron von Merkens, who with his wife Corinne receives the couple among their guests.
