Synopsis

After the sudden death of Michi's estranged father, Michi, a young mother and dry alcoholic, decides to stay in the inherited summer house for a few days with her young daughter Hanna, hoping to regain the motherly trust she lost. Already during the first night, long repressed memories of Michi's childhood and her mother’s suicide begin to haunt Michi. Trying to numb herself again with alcohol only drives her daughter Hanna further away and accelerates Michi’s paranoid state. When her demons also start threatening her daughter, Michi must confront them to save Hanna.
