Prolific Danish screenwriter Kim Fupz Aakeson teams with veteran director Ake Sandgren to explore a most unconventional love triangle. Grieving fisherman Alf (Rolf Lassgård) is mourning the loss of his younger girlfriend Lena (Sofia Ledarp). Though the pair had spent but a few months together, their time together was precious to Alf and the circumstances of her death simply cannot be forgotten. Back in the day, Lena was involved in a relationship with violently abusive Hannes (Jonas Karlsson), who beat the girl on a regular basis before she finally gained the courage to have him locked up. Later, when Hannes is released from prison, he is compelled to send Lena an apologetic letter in which he begs for forgiveness. Subsequently unable to resist Hannes' toxic charm, Lena soon begins a clandestine affair with her abusive ex-boyfriend behind the unsuspecting back of cuckolded Alf. As troubling old patterns gradually begin to resurface, the stage is set for a tragedy that soon threatens to destroy the lives of all involved.
