But lately, irritating incidents are piling up: Charlotte gets bumpy, forgets appointments and messes things up.

But even though she herself feels that something is wrong with her, the proud woman refuses any help. Until the situation threatens to escalate.

Until We Fall poster
6.1

Louise loved Adam. Adam loved Louise. That is how it used to be. But a child has disappeared. Their child. The police said it was a drowning accident. Yet the truth is that their little boy’s body was never found. Lucas, ten years old. How easy it all would have been if the ocean had taken the trouble to throw up a little-swollen child’s corpse onto the beach. Or if a local with alcohol in his blood and blood on his hands had ploughed him down at full speed. An indescribable pain. No more living, no more happiness, but at least no unanswered questions. Unfortunately, that is not how it is for Adam and Louise.
