Forbandede yngel

Flying home from Afghanistan, Lisa takes the seat next to Andreas, a doctor, and decides he will hear her whole story. It begins in an ordinary, seemingly idyllic corner of provincial Denmark, where she grows up as one of four siblings who cling to each other: their mother cries too much, their father beats them. Her account takes in a robbery, a carefully planned death and a younger sister who wants to end her life. It is the story of going far away and still being caught, of first love and the will to survive, and of a woman trying to make peace with her past and perhaps find love.
