A dark, morally murky Swedish drama about exploitation and desperation in a remote island community, where a father's crisis of conscience unfolds against the commodification of his daughter.

Somewhere in the archipelago outside Sandhamn lives the barber Assar Gustafsson and his 17-year old daughter Anna-Bella. Out of the blue his wife comes back after five years of absence. She starts up a brothel in their bath house with Anna-Bella as the main attraction, a brothel that attracts various men from all over. The browbeaten Assar starts to make arrangements for his wife's permanent absence.
