Saga, in her late 30s, loses her memory due to an epileptic seizure, which completely turns her life upside down. Fearing that she will no longer be able to take care of her 6-year-old son, the single mother tries to hide her condition from her family and accept the challenges. In her search for the causes of her crisis, she comes across repressed childhood memories that are still felt in the present and gradually come together like a jigsaw puzzle. Fragments of memory return and Saga has to face the truth... Moving film debut from Iceland about a young woman on a painful search for her very own path.

Age rating: from 16 years
