Summary |
Nobody really knows Vanda, this somewhat lost girl who lives alone with her son Noé in a shed by the water, on the outskirts of town. About ten years earlier she dreamed of being an artist, but she became a cleaner in a psychiatric hospital. Between Vanda and her six-year-old boy, whom she protects like a wolf, a mad love broods that excludes any compromise. So when Simon, the child's father, suddenly bursts into their lives after an absence of seven years, the unstable universe that Vanda has built for herself falters. And the rage she's been holding threatens to explode. |
