Plot

When Charlotte, 27, meets her brother Henrik, 35, for the first time as an adult, it becomes an encounter without boundaries, between two people who don't know what a normal family is. How does sibling love manifest itself if you have never experienced it before?

Sinekatalog’s take

A brother and sister meet as adults and their bond has no boundaries or rules. The film is unsettling, intimate and mindful of how family absence shapes love. A daring, uneasy drama for those ready for taboo-edged material.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
