The first installment in The Isolation Trilogy - each film taking place in an imaginary past, focusing on characters in extreme physical isolation. Inspired by Finnish artist Helene Schjerfbeck’s intimate portraits of women, on the banks of a lake, hidden below a mountain ridge, three women live secluded. One night, a young vagabond appears on their doorstep, bringing echoes of the outside world to their haven.

The story is about 17-year-old Hendri who is forced to end up on the doorstep of his senile, withdrawn grandfather in a retirement home. Hendri soon realizes that there are so many more secrets hidden here than he could ever guess and that the biggest secret of all may just cost him the love of his life.
