Psychotherapist Anu regularly treats young Heloisa, who, whenever she falls in love, becomes entangled in pitch-black fantasies of violence directed at her lover. Heloisa’s intrusive thoughts fascinate Anu in a way she cannot quite fathom. As if these fantasies were triggering something within her, she allows herself to walk a fine line between personal intimacy and professional distance. But one day, Heloisa abruptly breaks off therapy. When Anu invites friends to a Midsummer celebration, her son Antti unexpectedly shows up with his new girlfriend - Heloisa. Anu’s fixation on Heloisa and the painful memories of their therapeutic relationship resurface. An obsessive relationship develops between the two women, threatening to shatter everything that once seemed secure and sanctioned. With two captivating lead actresses, Finnish director Josefina Rautiainen delivers an intense, intimate drama about closeness and the loss of control.
