In this pitch black satirical comedy, director Kristoffer Borgli portrays a toxic relationship that rapidly escalates to frightening new levels of narcissistic one-upmanship. Signe and Thomas are a young couple with an unhealthily competitive relationship which takes a vicious turn when Thomas suddenly breaks through as a contemporary artist. In response, Signe makes a desperate and shockingly self destructive attempt to regain her status by deliberately making herself ill to attract attention and sympathy.
