A tense supernatural horror-romance that weaves Jewish mysticism and family trauma into an intimate story of two women caught between love and dark maternal secrets.

Maja, a Danish actress past her prime, falls in love with Leah, a young Jewish academic from London. Leah suffers a mysterious seizure, and Maja returns with her to London. There, she meets Leah’s mother, an overbearing woman who could hold dark secrets.
