A tightly woven and intimate psychological drama, both beautiful and painful. We follow a family as they confront the intricate web of consequences spun by a 48-year-old secret.

One day, Sofi receives an unexpected call. A brother she never knew existed reaches out. From there, we follow Sofi, Ann, and Torbjörn as they navigate layers of deception, denial, and emerging understanding.

What is a lie? And how do you handle a secret that forms the foundation of your identity?

Sofi’s newly discovered biological father, Torbjörn, turns out to have eight children and runs a retreat in India. As Sofi embarks on a journey to meet him, her mother, Ann, struggles with jealousy and guilt—analyzing herself like a patient in her own therapy room.
