Freyja, who is twenty-seven, comes to the capital from a provincial village. Freyja is commissioned to do research for a film about Margareta Glas-Larsson (78) and Emil Ostermann (93). The encounter with these people who were both persecuted during the National-Socialist period – Emil was able to escape, Margareta was deported to Auschwitz – causes Freyja to delve into her own past – a confrontation with life and death.
