While Hilma is unable to hear the sounds of the world around her, she can feel their vibrations with the help of her father's old tape recorder. Recording sounds in her everyday life, she attempts to use the playback to communicate with a boy in her neighbourhood. When he is disinterested, she realizes that she shouldn't have been so quick to jump to conclusions.

Eric and Elin reminisce about the dark, magical summer when they first met. They were just kids and their parents, Linda and Peter, were drug addicts. During a few violent but beautiful months...

An assassin drags his victim into the middle of the snowy woods, digs a pit, positions him next to it and prepares to finish the job. His victim seems to want to go out singing though.

A pandemic spreads and the death toll soars. In a venerable hotel an elevator gets stuck. The pregnant Irene, the receptionist Mia, the janitor Kristof, and the actress Liz are trapped. On a radio they hear the world outside collapsing. As hunger and thirst increase the elevator turns from safe haven to death trap. As they lose hope they let go of built-in defenses and get under each others skin. Kristof and Mia have a common past laden with betrayal and sorrow. Irene is married to a man who abuses her. Liz is torturing herself over the death of a child. Finally Irenes water breaks and there is no alternative but to cut the cable that holds the elevator and plunge towards an unknown fate.
