The official synopsis reads:
Recovering alcoholic Michi (Cornelia Ivancan) retreats to her estranged father’s isolated countryside house with her eight-year-old daughter Hanna (Lola Herbst), hoping to mend the bond shattered after a drunk-driving accident. But the quiet refuge quickly turns hostile, as long-buried memories surface, and whispers of Michi’s mother -- who died by suicide in the house -- begin to seep into every room.
