Mystery Psychological
Elsa is dying. Her husband, Martti, and daughter Eleonoora are struggling to accept the crushing thought that they are soon to lose her. As Elsa becomes ever more fragile, Eleonooraβs childhood memories are slipping away. Meanwhile, Eleonooraβs daughter Anna spends her time pondering the fates of passersby. For her the world is full of stories. But the story that will change her forever is the one about Eeva, her motherβs nanny, whom her grandparents have been silent about for years. Eevaβs forgotten story, which Anna first learns of when she discovers an old dress of Eevaβs, is finally revealed layer by layer. The tale that unfolds is about a mother and daughter, about how memory can deceive usβand sometimes that is the most merciful thing that can happen.
