The story
Sven has lived in the attic of his parents’ house for decades, isolated from family life since developing schizophrenia 30 years ago. The rest of the family has quietly adapted to his withdrawal, but his sister Holle has never fully accepted the stagnation. Her work as a spiritual healer leaves her little time to care for him. The family’s fragile arrangement is disrupted when their mother unexpectedly goes to the hospital, leaving Holle increasingly face to face with Sven’s psychological problems and growing physical difficulties.
