The Plot of “Bytet”
In a desperate attempt to reignite the spark in their marriages, Stockholm-based couple Carl (played by Fares Fares) and Helene (Frida Gustavsson) orchestrate a holiday home swap with Adam (Jakob Oftebro) and Scarlett (Emma Appleton), who reside in the picturesque Sicily.

The villa doesn't quite live up to the idyllic images they saw, and unsettling questions begin to surface about the strangers now inhabiting their home. Who are these people they’ve traded homes with?
Meanwhile, Adam and Scarlett move into Carl and Helene's stunning, modern architectural dream home in Stockholm's archipelago. Despite its beauty, an unsettling atmosphere pervades.
