A intimate, melancholic drama about desire, duty, and the erosion of self within caregiving, told through the quiet collision of loneliness and temptation.

Mika, a woman caring for her husband Anders who has Alzheimer’s, navigates her own loneliness and need for intimacy. When Ossian, a man working in home care, enters their lives, something is stirred in Mika – a reminder of her own vitality and desire, but also an uncomfortable truth about her situation.
