A boy chilled to the bone staggers through a snowy landscape. He finds shelter in an elderly couple's cabin – but this encounter ends up in a pointless and brutal tragedy. Two years later, young psychologist Lisbeth invites a priest, Helen, to embark on a journey into the darkness of one traumatized mind before it's too late. It was Lisbeth who started an experiment where mentally ill violent inmates get a pet to look after and to help them reach out. In this case, however, she started something beyond her imagination. The adaptation of a minimalist play centers on the acting performances of the pivotal trio and the realistic depiction of the environment. (Febiofest)
