Defamed actress and single mother Elisabeth is abruptly called into a parent-teacher meeting after hours regarding allegations that her son crossed boundaries against his best friend, while the school management doesn’t really know what actually happened. As Elisabeth struggles to uncover the truth amid the empty school rooms and dark corridors, a chaotic fight for redemption arises. Starring Renate Reinsve (The Worst Person In the World) in a tension-filled, visceral lead performance.
