Synopsis
Eleven year old Masha and her mother Elisa move to her demented grandmother’s house, to take care of her. The close environment of the family acts as if Masha’s father is dead, something Masha actively denies. There seems to be also a dark secret connected to Elisa’s dead father. When Elisa feels the presence of a threatening person around the house, to protect Masha, she cuts her off from the outside world.
