“A mother and a daughter. What a terrible combination of feelings, confusion and destruction.”
After a seven-year absence, Charlotte Andergast travels to Sweden to reunite with her daughter Eva.

Charlotte gets another shock when she finds out that her mentally impaired daughter, Helena, is out of the asylum and living with Eva.
