Rebekka took her ten-year-old daughter Raakel along on what she called prize trips to hotels, making the child the one person she confided in, too heavy a burden for a girl. Raakel's insecure, sickly father accepted the explanations. More than twenty years after Raakel, aged thirteen, was found alone at an airport, the police in 2002 look again at her mother's disappearance.
