Elin Marklund

Coral grows outside of the government-run liquor store and the diamond factory’s soul watches over ghosts, refuges and sleeper who move through a depopulated northern Sweden.

Sabina has traveled from Romania to the small Swedish town Holmsund with her Roma brothers. They work in a garage and Sabina is looking for a job. Elin, born and raised in Holmsund, is in the church singing at the graduation ceremony. A summer is about to start and Sabina will get to know Elin. Together they will revolt against the old ways and find something new in each other. At the same time the society around them collapses in fear and Elin’s dad becomes insane by sorrow. Because there is a madness in the Swedish idyll.

Fia lives with her mentally ill father in a small community where it’s important not to stand out. She does everything to hide what it’s like at home. After a fight with her boyfriend at a party, she runs off, and gets a ride with Elsa, who’s not afraid of standing out at all.

Sabina has travelled from Romania to Holmsund in northern Sweden to find a job with her brothers. Elin has just finished school and is enjoying the first day of the summer holidays. That evening they meet, and it's a meeting that lasts forever.
