| Synopsis
Enjoying life in their mid-thirties, Kira (Stine Stengade) and her husband Mads (Lars Mikkelsen) have a large
house and two wonderful children. Their world is perfectly secure and comfortable
until Kira develops a psychiatric disorder, which eventually commits her to
a hospital. On being discharged, Kira's sole desire is to return to the normality
of her previous life and fulfill her role as a good wife and mother. But, as
she struggles to maintain equilibrium, she discovers Mads has had an affair
during her hospitalization. Reviews "Sexually charged, ferocious...a lusty, go-for-broke performance!" - Variety "There isn't a false note...the performances are simply luminescent." - The Globe and Mail "Easily one of the most affecting films of the year." - Toronto Eye
