Nina, a close to retirement university professor is at a crossroads in her life. Her relationship with her daughter is strained, her work feels meaningless, and her childhood home is about to be demolished. When their tenant disappears, Nina becomes consumed by guilt and the need to solve the mystery. A psychological thriller which delves into family secrets, personal crisis, and the consequences of hidden desires. Set against the bleak Norwegian winter.  Claustrophobic and insightful, with one of the most pragmatic unfolds ever captured on paper.
