Storyline
Marie is a beautiful and lonely teenager who lives in an isolated village on a small island off the west coast of Denmark. Marie's mother is seriously ill, suffering from an unknown disease – she is on medication, absent-minded and confined to a wheelchair. Her father, the local grocer, tries to make life as normal as possible for the small family. On the surface, everything seems fine – and yet, Marie cannot help feeling that he is hiding something about her mother's illness. At the same time, she senses that something strange is happening to her body – that she is losing control of herself.
