Alma, 29 ans, mène une vie retirée dans un couvent catholique contemporain et se prépare à prononcer ses voeux perpétuels de religieuse. Son existence tranquille est perturbée par l'arrivée inattendue d'Erik, son frère dont elle est séparée, qui fait ressurgir une tragédie secrète de leur passé.

Under mysterious circumstances, 17-year-old Anna and her mother, Eva, move from China to a small Danish provincial town. Until now, Anna has lived a rootless life with her mother, who, in pursuit of new experiences with different men, has left a trail of failed relationships around the world. Over the years, the two have built a dysfunctional symbiosis where Eva's dominant behavior has turned Anna into a pleaser towards her mother.
